Sounds like Gary Harris + RJ Hampton + FRP for Gordon

I love this day. We didn't fleece any of these trades but we're getting a restart and that hopefully leads to a more entertaining and more upside team.

I’m here for the youth movement.

Congrats WeHam on actually making legitimate moves in a real direction for once in 4 years.

My thoughts..

The AG trade return was outstanding. Vooch, I’m not so sure of. I’m okay with moving him, I’m just not a fan of WCJ. But we have cap space and picks at least.

Only getting two seconds for Evan again shows how trash this FO is. He should have been dealt a while ago but they waited too long in a half assed attempt at winning and now we got bread crumbs for him like with Payton. Except that Fournier is actually a good player and we should have gotten real value for him.

I’m happy to finally start over from the Vooch/AG/Evan trio, but I also don’t trust the current FO to fix it. I do feel better about our tanking odds with Vooch and Evan gone.

With Gordon gone our walking dead are:
RJ Humpton
Gary Harris
Dwayne Bacon
Okeke
Wendell Carter Jr

well at least it’s safe to say we won’t win any game any more


I really don't see any point of watching often any games any time soon. We are back at square one, 2013, and waiting for ping pong balls and overtalking about how college prospect dribble the ball and how his shooting form looks like.
It's amazing how we menaged to fu** up rebuild to the point where in 10 years we have 0 assets to build future around other than 2021 pick, who , itself, isn't even asset, but potential asset.

would like to hear why you think the AG return was outstanding? RJ cant shoot, Harris massively overpaid and looked lost and the pick will be late 20's.

It is interesting to me how WeHam has treated the players and hammered the idea of "culture" and now at least Ross is blindsided by all these moves and maybe Vuc is too?
