We need a radical change in what the direction is— this is backwards. Falling into the class of bot scking but not terrible might be the absolute worst in nba
people here were slamming me for saying we should have kept Mike Miller. Sure, Thibs got us to over acheive - we got lucky last year- but now other teams got way better, and we just don't have enough talent.
The NBA is pretty much unique among team sports where if you have the best player, you win.
We have a deep team, but none of the players we are marching out are actually better than their opponents. all of them have some kind of flaw.
Imagine if we could take Kevin Knox and give him Obi's motor?
And that is another thing- our drafts from the past sucked. Who exactly is contributing to our team right now- all just basically got here- Obi, IQ, Rj. Maybe you include Mitch a little.
Go back to when we hired Thibs- instead, play out hiring Mike Miller, playing the young guys.
We maybe get DSjr and Frank to develop into role players. This draft, we pick up Chris Duarte.
This year we're a bit better than last year- no Kemba or EF weighing down the cap.
God, maybe we make a trade in the summer to help teams create cap space- maybe we can snare a talent like Kuzma in exchange for Randle from a team that is in win now mode.
Instead, we go all in, win now with Thibs. First round embarrassment last year- and this year a step back, maybe we're at the 10 spot and playing in for a chance to get wiped in the first round.
I do give the FO props for finding talent later in the draft.
But we still need a transformational franchise talent. The last player we had that I think you could use that term- probably Patrick Ewing- certainly as far as drafting him.
This franchise is cursed with an owner who wants instant results and has presided over the worst record in modern sports ownership.
