Everyone calling for a trade or firing etc…What is something that can be done to reasonably make this team better in the near future?
The value of our guys are at a low. The pieces we have that are expiring are not even playing, hence their value to anyone looking to gain a piece for a run is not high. While in the meantime the guys were probably looking to move like Bogey, Burks, Monte are kind of the guys we need here to stabilize the young roster.
I know we can say trade Wiseman, Bagley or Hayes but in reality what does that even get you back.
Until we get that first round pick that New York Knicks own sorted out, we’re essentially strapped to even move picks.
Trigger Troy had tied himself into a knot.
Fellas—This is why Weaver should have handled free agency differently. I argued with a lot of you over the summer about the Joe Harris trade to “free up” more cap space next season. If Weaver doesn’t parlay that contract into something real, he needs to be shot into space.
Humor me:
What if he signed Kuzma and Seth Curry with the $30 mill in space? (Kuzma would look amazing in Stewart’s starting spot and be that 3rd scorer the team desperately needs. Did you see him destroy us last night?)
What about Grant Williams AND Max Strus–Williams takes Stewart’s starting spot and Strus is the 6th man off the bench. (More wins)
Or if he wanted cap flexibility but to win some games, he could have done one year deals like: Torrey Craig, Christian Wood AND Kelly Oubre to put some f’ing points on the board and allow guys like Stewart, Ausar and Duren to focus on defense.
WEAVER F’D UP!!! Or he has a master plan none of us can see, which I have 5% hope for.
Weaver is working like he has endless rope. That Harris move was a mess and a majority of people felt that way. I think a bunch of the fanbase thought it would set up for something bigger, sadly it won’t.
We didn’t have to make the big splash like dumping money on Cam Johnson, but a few more moves like stated about would have made me feel a bit better about the offseason.
I thought Monte Morris was a nice move, adding Sasser made sense in that I thought Killian was all but done. Now with Monte out that has made this offseason a bigger disaster.
All the vets we have that we actually need to help stabilize this team are hurt. I imagine the wound wouldn’t have gotten as large as it has if Bojan, Monte, Burks and Harris played in 75% of these games. We’re leaking right now.
