The best we did was sign Rudy Gay and get black & white uniforms ?

Sorry guys, I know I’m a Debbie downer on here. I just don’t see it. We coulda at least added danny ainge , but no. Trapped in a Zanick nightmare
Does anyone here actually want Ainge to take over for JZ? Other than you, I hope not.
Brought back the entire team which was the #1 seed in entire NBA last year. 52 wins in a 72-game season. Added Rudy Gay and Hassan Whiteside. Drafted Jared Butler. Not sure what else there was to do. This was literally the best case scenario for this off-season.
If we want to be picky, we could moan about how we didn't get Batum, but got Gay instead. But who in their right mind would expect a player with a great role on a team that just beat us in the playoff to come to our side?
Or we could speculate about who the Jazz's number-one choice at backup center on a minimum contract was before he got offered a better contract. I'm choosing to guess Theiss, though his style of play is very different than we're used to at C.
I believe we’ve significantly overrated Batum here, in part due to recency bias, but if we’re saying Batum > Gay then we’re significantly overrating Batum.
Nah. I hope Gay thrives here, but if given a choice, I'd have gone with Batum. I'll gladly hope to be proven wrong, however.
Wait til we put Gobert and Whiteside on the court together at the same time. Game over for the league...
