Will these dudes even make the playoffs?, it would be absolutely insane if that actually happened

Yes, they will manage to get a 7/8 seed. I'm assuming that Presti's head remains up his ass and he doesn't make moves in the best interest of the organization.

Player of the Game: Andre Roberson?

If there is any chance to trade Carmelo, I'm on board. (To make it clear: The whole team played bad tonight, not only Carmelo, but I don't like the team chemistry with him.)

I would rather have last years team and play back, with which I knew the ceiling was pretty low, but at least there was a bit excitement.

I really like the defense without Roberson. Giving up 116 points to the Hornets is a huge accomplishment. Other great teams like the Bulls and Magic have pulled that off this year.

Time to blow it up - we need to trade Adams. Should be able to get some pieces back with his contract being for 3 more years after this one.

Yeah, lets trade our best player.

Antonio Daniels said this team plays like they are 10-15 games above .500. Isaiah Thomas said this was a great win for Charlotte. When will people realize that beating OKC isn’t a great win?

Unless you think Steven Adams can lead this team to a championship, or he’s young enough to still be valuable when the rebuild is complete, then you trade him.

You try a new coach before you touch the roster.

We're still figuring out how to play, give it a few weeks and we will figure out how to lose those Memphis/SAS games and everybody will realize we are tanking.

My thoughts exactly, plenty of teams would want him and Presti might be able to get some good pieces. Also as a big Adams Stan I want to see him on a team that doesn’t have Westbrook on it.

I think there's a solid chance he could still be valuable after a rebuild, Tyson Chandler was effective pretty late into his career.

He's the one I would keep during a rebuild. He won't win you games on his own, but his influence on the young guys would be similar to Perkins. He is only in his age 24 season so assuming he's 30 when you are ready to try to contend again he'd be a veteran, but would still have a few years, 2-4, left at a high level and could end up as your next Collison as he gets older and declines.

I'd also offer Nick Collison the coaching job this off-season. I could see him jumping into the middle of a practice and showing the players how to play. Even without the physical tools to be a quality NBA player he would teach them technique, hustle and playing hard and I think he would be able to sit players who were slacking off. His NBA career would give him the credentials to have the respect of younger players
