To be fair, their "highs" weren't all that incredible. Came mostly against sub par teams.

There are some really good games against relatively poor teams, but I'm generally more impressed with how incredibly good they can look against the best teams for streches. The real goal has to be to get rid of those awful 24-3 runs against, which seem inevitable most games.

I've listened to the Rights to Ricky Sanchez guys talk about him over the years... I don't think I'm interested... would rather play Morgan and see what he can do before getting Bolden.

I can do a pretty good DL.

I recommend you don’t listen to it. All the **** we joke about waiting by the phone may be true... there is a section of the interview where I literally said “you could just pick up the phone and talk to them”.

It was like they want to be prepared for all the scenarios so when a team calls they can say they have thought it through and can give a fast answer... I was like if you think it’s possible just call them and ask... rather than waiting for the call but spending time preparing.

True contenders...

I'd say both LA teams, Milwaukee are true contenders. There is another group knocking at the door that if everything broke right maybe it happens... I'd say Houston, Miami, Toronto... maybe Denver. Then there is a tier below that with Utah, Philly, Boston that has some roster issues... may beat a couple teams in the playoffs because of matchup advantages, but would lose to 3-4 teams because of matchup issues and will surely face those teams at some point.

I mean if season ends today we get Houston without home court advantage, win that then you get the Lakers without home court advantage, then maybe you get the Clips or Denver... all of those teams create some issues for us. Can we beat them on any given night in the regular season... for sure. 4 out of 7 times without homecourt... nah.

We aren't trash... we are very good... with very solvable problems... that we don't seem to want to solve.

I agree with your top 3. I disagree with everything after that. For me rn it's....

Tier 1 (solidified as contenders)
Lakers
Bucks
Clippers

Tier 2A (ceiling of tier 1 but minor flaw)
Jazz, flaw: inconsistency

Tier 2B (ceiling of tier 1 but significant flaws)
Celtics, flaw: bigs
Raptors, flaw: offensive creation
Heat, flaw: experience, offensive creation in a playoff setting

Tier 3 (Longshots with bigger flaws)
Rockets, flaw: Defense, gimmick scheme
Pacers, flaw: Offense
Nuggets, flaw: No second/third star, offensive creation in a playoff setting
76ers, flaw: Roster makeup, spacing
Mavs, flaw: Defense, experience

We are definitely not Tier 2A. We're 9-17 over teams with a .500 record
 
Our players and coaching staff has adopted the same wait by the phone approach our front office has. If we wait maybe teams will give us wins.
 
Furkan Korkmaz (PHI) is breaking out. He was a free agent last summer, could have been signed to a minimum contract FFS, at the age of 21.
I and @LoPo brought up this kid's name here many, many times. oh well... on to the next one
