Defend? Rebound? Shoot? Run?
Right now our defining characteristic is mediocrity and lack of any clear direction or purpose. But that is what you get with a treadmill team content on being an 8th seed.
Drummond and Reggie are clearly the heart of this issue
If you somehow managed to unload those 2 you would likely be disappointed to find another player or two to blame. We can put out fires all day long, but at some point you need to address the root cause.
How many coaches have we gone through in the last decade? How many bad draft picks? Bad trades? Bad FA signings? Who determines our teams win-now mandate?
Even IF we finally have the right coach and a competent GM, does it really make a difference? We created this beast long before giving Reggie & Dre those contracts; Meeks, Gordon, CV, JSmooth, the list goes on.
We will never be a good team so long as Gores continues to treat the franchise like one of his equities, looking at short term gains.
Mr D loved this team. He was a fan first and owner 2nd. The difference between the two couldn't be any more clear.
