Yes, we do. That's ... kind of the joke.

Should I strap in? I'm strapping in.

No, you had said 23. But beyond that, fair enough!

Personally, I'm completely ok with the idea that Wiggins is better than Gordon. But the idea that he's arguably the best player under 23 in the league just seems crazy to me. His defense is atrocious and I think one has to take efficiency into account when looking at offense. Sure, his ppg is gaudy. The advanced stats are somewhat less eye-popping.

I hope the folks that are worried about Isaac's college demeanor translating directly to the team would have been equally concerned with DSJ's "I'm going to quit on my team because they're terrible" demeanor translating as well if he had wound up in the situation he would have on this team.

So .... Doncic as a target? Or do they think that may Isaac is a 5 in the long run and Porter, Gordon and Isaac can all play together? (Yes, I know. We'll lose all the games and then not get a top pick. :P)

I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Heck, I can even understand arguing against that. What I struggle to understand is someone getting salty and supercilious about others' taking a more analytical approach to things.

Maybe not a superstar, but signing Horace Grant was a big deal at the time.

The first one is the TMac trade.

That's fair. :D

So ... Vuc and stuff for Butler and sign Horford? Maybe? No? Crap. Not super-excited.

I meant our replacing Goukas with a better coach than Brian Hill. Hopefully someone who, combined with not lowballing him, could inspire Shaq to resign in addition to avoiding the player mutiny, etc. I also seriously considered going with our keeping Webber rather than trading for Penny. As great as Penny could have been had he stayed healthy, that could have made for an interesting team.

Do a [better] coaching search in '93. It was frankly too long ago for me to recall what realistic options there were, but there has to have been someone who would have worked out better than Hill.

Keep in mind that the quote is from back in mid-January, so "now" was probably unduly influenced by the first few months of Payton's rookie season and early expectations. (Not that Smart was exactly tearing things up at that point either.) It's funny, because I can totally imagine someone posting the quote to demonstrate how much Pelton is shooting in the dark.
