Brooklyn is going to be good this year but how long has it taken for a NY team to be good. Knicks have been trash since, what, ‘95, outside of like 3 yes with a healthy melo and Amare and even then that team didn’t do anything. We saw the Lakers try and steal Chris Paul and the owners didn’t allow that. NBA it’s all about getting that star player. If you don’t have him you will suck or be stuck in purgatory. NFL is kinda starting to turn into that with QBs It's not even 1 star player anymore, you have to hit on 2 or 3 or you stand no chance of retaining them or having a real shot at winning. Do you have faith the Cavs can draft 2-3 all stars? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucking is good when you’re in a great draft year. Embrace it and hope the NBA does us another solid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embrace it and hope the NBA does us another solid. I just can't believe what this team has become since the beginning of the year. This team was supposed to be Sexton, Garland, Okoro, Porter Jr, Love, Drummond, Nance, McGee, Delly, Osman, Windler, ect. But instead I'm sitting here watching Broderick Thomas, Lamar Stevens and whatever a Hartenstein is. How. They lost alllllllll of those guys and somehow have zero assets for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl_sjunior Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Drummond was a calculated risk, trading for JA and throwing Drummond on the bench ruined his trade value. We gave up nothing to get him. So we lost nothing. I'm entirely over K-Love and I can't wait to move on. McGee is a quality backup and was probably signed with the intention of trying to move him. We got multiple picks for basically nothing here. Porter Jr was a headcase. Sucks, but is what it is. Osman has been garbage. Windler has been mostly garbage, not ready to rule him out but he has played awful. I really don't know what people expected with this squad. It was garbage and it's still garbage. We got Jarrett Allen and a high lottery pick coming out of this season and we figured out Sexton and Garland can both play. That's still pretty solid of a place to be. Next step will inevitably be a new coach and GM lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll just promote some other puppet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll just promote some other puppet. This is an unfortunate truth. I think we made two big mistakes this year. 1. Not moving Drummond earlier. We weren't going to be in the playoffs this year no matter what. So as soon as he proved he had a lot in the tank and was an expiring contract he should've been out the door to whichever team was hot and needed an interior presence (LAL, BOS, etc.) 2. Releasing KPJ. That was a bad move from the moment it happened. It was a lazy move. The kid could NOT have been THAT bad for team culture. And you can't have so little self-awareness and humility to be unable to tell a kid, "Hey, your reaction was unacceptable, and there will be consequences for it (apologizing to teammates and coaches, fines, etc), but it was also a mistake to move your locker without you getting to be the one to move what was in it." Other than that, the year is going about how we all figured? We stink, headed for another (please please please) top 5 pick, but with some solid development from Sexton (early season), Garland (late season), and a bonafide long term rotation piece in Jarrett Allen. Like, for a rebuilding team, it will all depend on the draft pick, but it's about a to-be-expected result. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasnt just that, it was also the issue in the offseason as well when he had the accident with guns and drugs in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl_sjunior Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 You never know. The kid seems like he's getting groomed. He was behind the new art director hire, inconsequential as that may be. Dan has been plenty bad on his own. At least he spends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Gonzaga is the best college basketball team I’ve ever seen. Other than Suggs they don’t have any real NBA talent, but they’re all superstars college wise. Timme and Kispert are unbelievable and Suggs is a college basketball version of Steve Nash.

candyman93 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Also, don’t judge Mobley for this game. Kispert and Timme would be doing this against anybody. Even the Kentucky team that had AD and MKG. College coaches don’t teach you how to defend this: Edited March 31, 2021 by candyman93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypicalBrowns10 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 https://youtu.be/5Nx57KONzVo I needed to feel excited about basketball again. This does it everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
