2026,2028, and 2030 swaps with the Suns (looking at you 2028) could be chef’s kiss.
Next season could be worse, if/as we move on from left over vets via trades and move towards the kiddo's full time.
I don't think much will change, 15-20 instead of 15 probably, but injuries to Deni, Bilal again, other guys could make it worse. Let me add, I 1000% think '19-'23 was worse than this, because it was utterly directionless stupidity. No plan, just a pipe dream and a desire to cash checks from idiot Ted motivating all decisions. 15 wins this year was fine, who cares, there is a clear direction and aim, and its a sound one, there is hope in that, far more hope than the inane bull--- that guided the second half of '18-'19, and all of '19-'20 through '22-'23. I take solace in that, and the 60 loss seasons don't bother me at all, now that there's sense for the first time in eons. Even the joy of actually tearing it down and rebuilding in '09-'10 was neutered by the reality that we'd utterly botched the '09 draft so badly that the team was derailed at least a year if not more by the terrible decision to trade the pick for vets.
This time, everything their doing is sound philosophically, it may not work, but it makes sense, and is premised on good process and best practices. That's literally never been true ever, except '10-'13, and '10-'13 was guided by a self-interested, talentless moron, in the nearly 40 years I've watched, so yeah, I'm not in the least bothered by potential 67 loss seasons, its literally the best season that happened to this team since 1978-1979 when I was 3.
