What would you have wanted them to do? Which positions and players would you want them to target? To essentially say they are wrong for wanting to watch and evaluate these players with their own eyes and under a new coach is baffling.
Whats baffling is fans of this team being ok with them needing to evaluate them under a new coach and not improving the roster.
I'm not the GM, I'm not going to sit here and research all the moves we could make, thats what they get paid for. I just want any hint that they want to improve this team. I have seen enough of the players we have to know we need to make moves to improve. Even just take out the trash and collect some future assets and I'll be ok with that. Just do something to improve the team, thats their job. I'm just a fan with an opinion, right or wrong.
No, it's not. You don't think a new coach and new gm should have the right to evaluate a roster? You want them to make moves because of how you feel and what your opinion of the roster is not their own. You can have and voice your opinion that doesn't make it sensible or logical.
You can't say they get paid to research all the moves they could make because that includes evaluating the roster, which is something that apparently you don't think they should have the time to do.
So good to read some non emotional common sense in 2020!
All of us want to see results right a way but we need to be realistic. EVs said day one he was blown away GarPax only had one player development coach. AK Evs have hired 4 and BillyD their HC. To think you wouldn’t want time at the very least 3 months till the deadline to see how these guys work and grow... doesn’t make any sense to me.
There are things we can see regardless of the coach. Boylen was a big problem though too. Lauri never shooting midrange and WCJ not looking at the basket when the year before both looked so much better. Analytics meant layups and 3s which disrupted the flow of the offense and made both bigs look awkward and awful. Both have flashes quite a bit two years ago though.
I’m good sitting out crazy FA where Gordon Hayward gets 4/120 and Grant gets 3/60. Sometimes the best deal is the deal you don’t do. GarPax would have wasted cap on players like Gallo or trading for Rubio only to try and squeak into the playoffs. AK wants to contend. He is going to see what he has and then made deals. I expect Coby Zach and PW as the only guys that will still be year in two years.
