I do NOT see building around Dennis, Baze & Dwight as a good idea. But I'm not yet ready to burn it all down just yet. I view a complete rebuild on a consistent playoff team as an over reaction.

Dennis is a keeper. But has NOT yet proven to be a franchise cornerstone. I dump Bazemore for anything...and pursue '2nd tier' max players in Free Agency this summer.

Dwight, Dennis and Danilo Gallinari could be an intriguing trio moving forward.

I really like Gordon Hayward and would move Baze and Dwight if I could get a shot at signing Gallinari and Hayward. Those two plus Dennis would be a matchup nightmare!!!


I like both of them, but that would still leave us with a weak core and noone. Gallo and Hayward are expensive.

I want a quick rebuild that Keeps Schro, the rooks, maybe THJr, signs young, end of rook deal FA with upside and draft.

The problem with this team is that it isn't going to win and is downward trending. Give me a young team that will fight for the playoffs quickly and have upside.

This seems the wisest approach. I hope we embrace this line of thinking.

Yeah, we had a chance with the Horf team, but they didn't do much to supplement the team during that run. We were at the culmination of a ten year rebuilding. We've been weakening since the 60 win season and last off-season was horrible. The only good move was JT for Prince. I can't believe that they are going to hit that wall so clearly in front of them.
