It's dreaming but Chris Paul + Ayton is a worst to first offseason.

Doing ok comparably.
The more I watch him is the more I see he has no clue how to run a offense.

That was the least likeable. This is the least watchable because they are so very bad at basketball. Or whatever it is they are doing. It isn't quite basketball.
All this team needs is a elite PG. Imagine if we had a PG with a high basketball I.Q, someone like Troy Daniels would probably win 6th man of the year and Chandler and Monroe would be unstoppable on offense. OH yeah Booker's game would also be on another level
If you just took Dragic from that 2012-13 team and put him on this team, it would look A LOT better. Everything would open up quite a bit and you'd have a confident leader with the ball.

You are tanking when your point guards are Tyler Ulis and Mike James.
Maybe, I consider tanking when we sit players who would be a positive on the court in order to lose. We flat out just don't have anyone better to play at the PG position, McD isn't going to trade anyone to pick one up, and the free agents are all signed up or in China
So....kinda like keeping Chandler as the starter over Monroe? Or keeping Chriss the starter over Bender? Or giving the keys to the offense to a guy who was about to give up on Basketball as a career because he was having trouble staying in China over Just letting Booker run the point?
We got a lot of **** for sitting Bledsoe and Chandler last season. We arnt going to repeat that strategy again, so now its more of a stealth tank. Ulis/James running the point are a major factor in that. They have major issues trying to get Booker the ball over defenders....but its fine, well just keep letting everyone else brick the shots instead of finding something that works.

Why would we go with the Monroe/Chandler line up again? No spacing and they are not going to outplay Cousins/AD at least try to space them out

While I would love for those things to be a stealth plan masterplan, I think it is just incompetence on the part of the coaching staff and front office.

I can't imagine how frustrated Paul would get playing with young raw talent that makes boneheaded mistakes. I don't think he'd have the patience at this point in his career. He's too much of a perfectionist. If NY had the cap space he should go there. They need a PG almost as bad as we do but they have a team a little further along and a good complementary star for him.

8 players in rotation have 8 seasons experience in total.
Only excludes Chandler, Monroe.
That affects a team more than sitting players.

Or.....he could just say where he is with the best team in the league where he is having a great time.

Booker has taken the most shots tonight. He's just shooting 25%.

You've mentioned "Best team" a couple times. Do you honestly think they are better than the Warriors?
Also, Paul has been out almost all season, so the jury is still kind of out as to whether or not they play as well with him.
