Look, you’re preaching to the choir. If anything, your takes this offseason have a greater resemblance to those that you were sparring with last offseason. Or, at least as far as I can tell. Your mope is the same, doe.
just be grateful that we actually have a defensive principle.
this sounds like the type of move Danny Ainge would do. not sure about JZ, aka DL's sidekick.
I’m still holding out hope that Ryan gets my resume and gives me the GM job… John Collins ain’t walking through that door.
We have a 2-3 window before we blow it up. Locke has been throwing the idea out there a lot… we are all in for 2-3 years and then we year it down to studs. I think Don will give us his best and may even sign a supermax with us but I’m not sure we end up having him for 12 years… the new nba stars are incredibly impatient.Just figured I’d throw this into the thread. It’s from a couple days ago, but I’m just getting caught up on some weekly interviews. This is Andy Larsen, at about the 9 minute market, Andy mentions Donovan’s been putting a lot of pressure on the Jazz FO to improve behind the scenes. He’s talking about it in relation to how Giannis won his title, and how Dame in Portland has been getting impatient. Dames been in Portland for 9 years, Giannis just won his first in year 8. Most greats don’t win their first title until years 7,8,9, or 10, so I hope Donovan can both want the team to improve and also find patience in the process, he is just entering his 5th season next year.
I completely disagree with the "blow it up" concept. Yes at some point we will pivot from Rudy. Whether that's next summer or in a couple summers, it doesn't matter.
So Lowry and Derozan are interested I. The Lakers. If the Lakers sign one, that really only leaves Mike with Dallas unless it’s a s&t, no? I mean aure some other teams have cap room but they all suck iirc and Conley would have to be an idiot to sign in those spots.
I think Conley chooses between:
If we wait 2-3 years to pivot from Rudy, we ain’t getting **** for him.
Philly has no cap room. Chooses how?
Which is why I think we do it next summer if this season doesn't work out.
Some of these are sign and trade options. This summer will have more sign and trades than probably any summer ever.
I just don’t think Donovan will stay for 5-6 more years. We’d need something more than Kyle Kuzma to convince him to stay here. We needed to hit on a pick closer to his draft. The half way builds we have done have led us to have guys who are good now but not completely on the same timeline. To get young now we have to take like two huge steps back… if it fails DM wants out sooner than later.
