Stefanski did one helluva job so far !!!
Stefanski has done an incredible job making this roster way better with such little money. A bench consisting of D Rose, Kennard, Morris, and Thon is more than enough..and then you have our prized rookie Sekou, and other high upside players Thomas, Svi etc. This roster is now so much more adept at handling injuries now. Rose and Morris are former starters vets with experence..and good ones at that. So we have two starting caliber players backing up our PG and PF, who happened to be our most injured players. Great offseason so far!Frazier as the 3rd pg.Deividas Sirvydis, Jordan Bone nice picks.
I love the depth and I love the attitude of the guys were getting. I believe we are at least a 45 win team right now.
Stefanski is changing this whole team i wish he was here years ago.

So far I’ve been happy with him. Besides dumping that 30th pick. Thought we could have gotten a few good prospects there

Re: Stefanski did one helluva job so far !!!
The Snell trade and the corresponding moves in the draft bring the grading curve down quite a bit.
I'll give him he has made some solid free agent signings. All of them are sound, the Frazier move I actually like the best. As somebody else said earlier, this FO is the opposite of the previous one. Bad in the trade market/good in the free agent market. Well good in free agency this summer anyways, last summer not so much.

I mean, all we're doing is low risk moves to try to get the best out of the core we have that we clearly can't move.
The real test comes in 2 years when we will have a clean-ish slate and need to figure out what we're doing with it. Until then we haven't really done much.

Didn't have much to work with, but we got incrementally better. So that's a plus.
Next year with Jackson, Galloway and Smith expiring, at least we will have a bit more room to maneuver. That will be a more interesting test.

PG
Reggie Jackson
Derrick Rose
Tim Frazier
Jordan Bone
SG
Luke Kennard
Langston Galloway
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk
SF
Bruce Brown
Khyri Thomas
Tony Snell
Deividas Sirvydis
PF
Blake Griffin
Sekou Doumbouya
Markieff Morris
C
Andre Drummond
Thon Maker
G-Jordan Bone 2-way
F-Louis King 2-way
Now that we have nothing left, I wonder who we get for with the minimum. We should snag a backup center before some other team does.

They don't unless a trade comes along to clear some cap. A minimum signing now will still put the team into the tax.

Gores said he continues to be willing to go into the luxury tax for the right situation.

The right situation is not a minimum signing for the 15th roster spot.

1) Signing a random scrap heap free agent to the vets minimum, doesn't qualify as the "right situation" to go into the luxury tax.
2) I for one am skeptical Gores is actually willing to go into the tax.

Who do you put in as the starting sg?
SL in my eyes right now are:
RJ
Luke
Snell
Blake
Dre

Re: Stefanski did one helluva job so far !!!
Starting lineup needs shooting, period.
Luke hopefully comes back shooting 40% from the 3 and can handle the ball a little.
A man can dream, right?
Still Galloway better be on the bench.

What has he done other than not overpay for washed up players?

He's bringing a much better team on the floor that will win 45+ games and do better in the playoffs.The players he brought in will improve the system of winning .Just like the lions the players they brought in will also improve the team to make the playoffs too.

Upgraded the talent and depth to compete now.
Found young players with upside for the future.
Well done.
Svi and Khyri’s shooting will help a lot.

The Snell trade was GREAT. How do you think you can get a SF with good D and Can hit the three for what we had to offer? That was the best case scenario.

What he had to work with he did really well.
