Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted November 24, 2015 I'm not sure what that means though. If don't have precision, we aren't going to win a title. We need precision in the new NBA. Precise passing and accurate shooting is what wins titles. You can't just run guys around and hope a lane opens up for a guy to drive in because he is fast. At the end of the day somebody at the guard position has to be drilling shots on a consistent basis and finishing at the rim. You're worried about winning a title. I'm more concerned with us just being good to attract free agents like Atlanta, Hoston, Memphis, etc. If we make decisions solely on the basis of winning a title we should be Philly. We should trade everyone on this roster for draft picks and just sit in the lottery until we land a star. There are like 5 legitimate teams that can win a title this year.

Catman 380 Report post Posted November 24, 2015 Catman -- Curious, you've mentioned a couple times before about knowing some people on the inside. Are you aware of any thoughts coming from management regarding longterm re: Dipo, Payton, Vuc? I doubt you would as I think you would have already mentioned it. Yeah but really if I was to say them now I'd get filleted. I can say that my opinion on who may get traded or benched is directly in line with who I heard may be on the block at some point during the year. Also there is no direct line to Rob's office so I don't get anything that I'd stake my life on it happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone made a point that Durant loves Dipo ... At the end of the day, Dipo has heart and versatility. He is just a volume shooter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A title in the future. And getting free agents when you collected assets for 4 years is not the main plan of action. I'd never once say we could contend for a title this year - even with a trade. That's just insane. The Magic will make trades in addition to competing in free agency. But they got a lot of assets because they know they can make moves down the road.

Payton is still my boy. Based on a lot of what you've been saying here, I think Payton is safe for now. The last 2 games may have changed it for my boy, though. Sad after he got 24 points just prior to his slump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just arguing that for the next three years all we need to be shooting for is appreciably better than last year. That will put us in position to do something in trades or free agency.
