There are large amounts of good hearted posters on this board who
* Thought we won real games last year, in a real season, ignoring the fact that we had the best Covid 'luck' of any team and 2 of our starters were top 5 in minutes
* Thought signing a nice 32 year old guy with no cartilage in one knee for two years was better than a 23 year old who we drafted
* Thought Randle was a top 10 player in the league
* Thought we were closer to the 3 seed than the play in game
* Thought Thibs could coach in game
* Thought Randles shooting in empty arenas against the Flying Thannasises was sustainable
* Actually debated RJ vs. Ja Morant (this one ... holy **** ...
)
We don't have a top 25 player anywhere on roster.
We have 3 potential good starter level young players in IQ, Mitch, RJ and Toppin, I'd put them in that order of potential.
We have a coach who would rather play Kemba Walker and Taj Gibon until they collapse, than let IQ and Obi play 30 minutes.
We have a coach who leaves Kemba Walker in for defense possessions at EOG.
We have a coach who would sub out the bench if they were on a 16-0 run because reasons.
We have 4 non-negative contracts on roster (besides the scrubs), Rj, Mitch, IQ and Obi.
We have 4 contracts that are at best neutral but likely would require an asset to get off roster, Randle, Fournier, Kemba, Noel.
We are at best a non-home court East playoff team with a 10% chance to make the second round.
