Rambis is 3-7 and 2 losses have been with us having leads late in the 4th blowing them with Melo way off shooting wise down the stretch (Indiana, Boston).
We're not that bad with Rambis, not when you compare to what the team was playing like the 10 games before Rambis was hired. Some seem to think Rambis was hired at 22-22. This team was on a nose dive, which has somewhat settled. We're still in a major rut, but we're a bit more competitive now having won I think 3 of the last 8 specifically.
He's not doing this to get a job next year, he's doing this so the team knows exactly what they have right now, and where they can add/where they can start to unload. For instance everyone wants Afflao and Calderon off the team, but would they really be bad as backups next year? I don't know about that. I think if that was our 2nd unit backcourt next year we'd be a better team. We need changes with the starters in the backcourt and also some bench guys, but how many? That's the question the have to ask. What guys do you want to bring back and what guys do you send packing.
Continuity is important in franchise growth. If you completely dump this team and just bring back Melo/KP next year it'll accomplish little. What'll accomplish far more is if you bring back the same type of team, only with a massive upgrade at point or guard. Then you look at your bench and where you can improve there. You've got some young players in KP and Grant who can come back better next year. A good team has about 10 players that know the system they are playing and style of play. If we can realistically add 2 or 3 quality players over the summer, that means we still need to bring back around 7 of the guys of our top 10 this year.
