Casey isn't "developing" these guys as expected and Weaver keeps throwing trash together hoping to get an 04 Pistons result. If we finish top 2 in the lotto again and get Vic or Scoot, we will have an amazing core but still no cohesion or trust that Casey can turn it into something good. If we don't have an obvious pick, I dont have faith in Weaver to make the right call (even though it looks like he did with Duren). I haven't watched much this year, it just isnt fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would honestly feel better if he said that they simply liked Wiseman a lot given his potential and wanted to take a chance even if they didn't necessarily need him. The fact he seems to think that the key to beating these teams is MOAR BIGS rather than wings with size and athleticism, is simply absurd.

I'd go after a Spurs assistant. Those guys seem to do well in the league. Or former Spurs assistants like Ime Udoka or Becky Hammon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catcheryea Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 seems like bagley will be back soonish. i can't wait for them to shut down bogey and burks and use a 9 man rotation with 4 centers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winitall Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 There needs to be a parental advisory for these rotations the last couple games. Children shouldn't be watching this and thinking it is basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
