Its ironic we are called Buzz City...lol...our off-seasons are dead af.

Every year it seems
1 Never have the potential to add a top tier free agent (cap wise)...or even a quality starter to add to the core
2. Never get in the top 5 in the draft
3. Not enough assets to add to our best 3 players via trade.

I guess we ride this 7-8 seed/late lottery wagon until the wheels fall off

It's like summer of 2015 (the one before the season we tied for third in the East) never happened.

You should be happy we didn't trade the 11th pick for Lopez. Frank is going to be just as good as he is, maybe even by this season, so it would have been pointless to add him. A few years ago though when we initially tried to get him is a different matter.

And lol at that list of things we don't do. We have literally done all 3 in the last 4 years.

Eh, we kind of blew our load last offseason. Now is the time to let the pieces fall and see where we end up. I'm not counting this team out of competing for a top 4 spot in the East yet.

Lolz! Best pre-Dwight thread ever!
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody
