Maybe they know he's been slacking during the past 9 months. Or not taking training seriously.

These are things we don't know, and that could help explain why the FO drafted another big in the lottery and signed a back-up C before addressing our biggest needs.

Or our FO is completely inept.


If they really thought that, they should have signed Christian Wood. But yah, they could be inept.

This is like a cheaper version of Pills' moves last year, but I don't see us getting a 1st during the trade deadline.

Ok with Burks and Noel. Just think fans wanted the fresh air of a new PG and Obi over Randall at minimum. :oops:

Nothing is a lock in the (rigged) lottery.

We were suppose to be a lock for Zion ... We couldn't even get Morant... We got Vanilla Mamba boring. I am telling you if we are horrible and get screwed in the lotto. I am convinced that the Commish doesn't want us to have a Box office talent.

Just get rid of Randle for Conley or Rozier or someone with an expiring and let's move on from that era.

Based on the highlight, I think Noel is here to teach Mitch how to swipe at the ball and steal it and not get called for a zillion fouls.

these other deals will be easier to move into space to find an expiring in return. Maybe steal a couple extra 2nd rounders at deadline. With the shorten quick season there will be injuries.


Yeah right now we are in a great position for next year. We haven’t done anything to **** it up. It’s tedious and it sucks for this FA but we are going in the right direction. Just need a damn PG


The FO is working. Let them grind.

This crying about not signing these wack players like Pope, Bertans, Grant... man cmon these guys don’t move the needle one bit and just screws with the cap.

We are a Randle trade and a shooter away from excitement again.

I think we end up top 5 and Leon would give up The Godfather to move up if he needs. All those 2023 picks, the Mavs pick, etc

Besides their mediocrity?

I don't mind Burks.

Why Noel? Why bother?

Payton and Noel are "value" to Aller?

Jesus.


I’m looking at the deals the decent players got and no **** way 80 mill for Bertans and 85 mill for a dude who has bob cousy shooting numbers


Yeah, that's nuts

Yeah this right here is the move they need to complete. Randle off the books some how, some way.
