    In all honesty Clifford is a good assistant coach for the knowledge he brings on the defensive side of the ball. He clearly lacks making those in game adjustments and always sticks to his system regardless of the outcome. If we could get an actual good head coach and keep Clifford as an assistant on the defensive side this team would be faring much better this season. His lack of creativity on the offensive end combined with the fact he uses guys the wrong way is half the reason why we are in this mess. The other half is on the players who have been asked to do more than what they are capable of doing. For example I would never put the ball in Fournier's hands for as much as he currently has it. Evan would be a lot more useful coming off screens for good looking 3’s and slashing to the basket to draw the contact and get to the line. He is an above average finisher around the rim yet we have him running around the perimeter pounding the air out of the basketball for a crazy off balanced shot or dump off to Vuc. Just one of the many examples I could come up with on how this coaching staff is incorrectly using our players. Point being both sides are at fault but it starts with the Coach to set the expectations and hold players accountable when they are playing like trash and to also put the players in the best position to succeed based on their strengths and weaknesses. 

    Again, those are you 2 best offensive players who shouldn’t be. It’s a roster problem.

    Man look, it doesn’t matter who’s the coach. This is a poorly constructed roster. You got players in the lineup that their games conflict each other. No big offensive talent. Players who think they’re one thing and really not. 2nd and 3rd options..:The hell is Cliff is suppose to do? Last year and a half dude has been screaming how inept the roster is and the FO wants to be “patient” and “evaluate”. This is all on the FO. Them being so damn experienced should’ve had the evaluation figured out in their first off season.

    I understand why it was so hard to let Vuc go. Coach likes him. He was an All-Star. If he doesn't decline too much from All-Star Vuc he's moveable with a declining contract by the time we need to have money. I wouldn't have re-signed him, but I get the thought process. It's why I want him to finish really strong but us to miss the playoffs. Shows he's not the future, but he's moveable. And it means we probably don't re-sign Fournier. Worst case is he sucks the rest of the season but Fournier plays well enough offensively that we limp into the playoffs and maybe we steal a game or something, making the front office think there's something there.

    Context. He was an all star one year, contract year.

    I don’t see what you’re going to move him for. Nothing substantial. You don’t win with him as your best player or focal point. He doesn’t defend consistently. I rather have Drummond and look what he was moved for.

    Evan? I’m predicting he opts in. Wish he would opt out and we’d say peace but I don’t trust this FO to do that.

    Fultz, Isaac, and Bamba

    So their plan is evaluate? First season, evaluate. 3rd season after playoffs, evaluate.
     

    The way they evaluate, it will be 2030. 
     

    They don’t have a plan. They wing it. Riley has a plan. Pestri has a plan. Pelinka has a plan. Cuban has a plan. May not be a sane plan but Morey even has a plan.  Only thing these two plan is nappy time. Ever see Ed Bassmaster on YouTube? Go watch where he does “Will ya look at that”.

    With Bamba and fultz coming off injury it's defensible to resign Vucevic as a crutch for a season. 

    This isn't a "next season" thing though. There's a firm date. Resigning Fournier is a terrible move on its face. Bamba will be going into year 3. We can move on from them with a bit more certainty and roster building opportunities. I accept their plan of "run this back for a season so we don't have to commit to unknowns and see if we can build off of last year's end of season run" this was that season. The time to reset is June-July. Further investment deserves scorn. Moves up to now are defensible. 

    Unknowns? Who? Fournier, Vuch, AG, DJ, Ross?

    I saw someone running on the street screaming crazy stuff on church street at 3:15pm. 
    i am really worried about magicman28. Hopefully, it wasnt him.

    Nah. I knew it. As long as this team is 8th and 7th seed, don’t expect much for the next 3 years or so. Maybe 5. I don’t think their priority right now is to win tbh. I think they want to tread water, recycle youth just to keep things interesting and milk the wonderful tourists who come to the arena, spend money, and root for their team.

    We will draft another bench player such as Iwundu. Fournier will opt in. We may even give him an extension. We may explore trading AG but probably won’t happen until the next deadline. It will be status quo. Get use to it.

    Yeah... for those that think the Heat did something brilliant, they didn’t... giving up Winslow for Iggy was bad enough, add in that they signed him to a $15 mill a year extension... it’s a name value trade and that’s about it

    Talent and youth wise but if you want to win, you need guys who know what winning looks like. Iggy is old but he takes real good care of his body and knows winning.

    sh!$@ man.... you need a drink. 
    I will be as upset and bothered as you are if I dont see any improvements but I still watch. Unless they trade Isaac or Fultz, of course. 
    We still be making the playoff and will have to wait and see what the summer brings..  

    we still have Fultz, Isaac and Okeke to look forward. Maybe Bamba and AG. 
     

    Bruh, I don’t need a drink. I just move on.   You can sit and rationalize insanity

    Agreed. I think most people wouldn't be as mad this trade deadline if stuff actually happened last off season to help us retool and get better.

    And the crazy thing is we are very likely to repeat the same off season. Resign and lock into Fournier, draft a player who may not even crack the rotation...Nah bruh.

     

    Pay me half of what they’re making. I can do what they’ve done.
