I just don't think you can go into year 7 post-Dwight with the same core, having missed the playoffs time and time again. The definition of insanity...

At the end of the day, were thankful for their skills and what they've brought the team, but they're probably not starters on a championship level team, just too flawed athletically. They don't fit the makeup of the type of players our new leaders want. we need fast, long, and athletic. I don't know what we can get for them and I don't know if new management wants to trade them for picks and admit another rebuild but I wouldn't put it past them. I believe we have some decent core pieces in Aaron Gordon, Jonathan Isaac, and Simmons. I need to see some consistency from Elf before I add him to the mix.

Oh of course. Even my cautiously optimistic self has these thoughts coming in full force right now. But at the same time, I knew this road trip was not going to be fun. I thought we would be lucky to split it but instead we went one and three. Now it's time to see if we can bounce back and get back to winning some games. If the slide continues then the negativity will be certainly warranted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you look at the season as a whole we just need to be a couple games under .500 before that final home stand in March. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
