I’d like to hear your thoughts on Troy, I know we’ve celebrated moves like Duren and getting Bogey for nothing, but this team won 17 games last year and looks even worse this season.

What drives me the most insane and it has since last summer, is we were sitting on $30mill in cap space. He has a 17-win team with very young players. And instead of grabbing some guys that can help with W’s (Strus, Oubre, Grant Williams, G Vincent, C Wood, Watanabe, Torey Craig, etc.) he basically said…nah, WE GOOD. And traded for an expiring deal with the corpse of Joe Harris and 2 second round picks. (Before free agency even started.) Basically, setting the stage for the current shit show.

Do you think Troy should be bounced now?

Do you give him until the trade deadline?

Do you trust him to spend all that salary cap this summer? (This scares the shit out of me.)

Does he deserve to see this through until next season?

    I know how desperate we are to cling on any shred of optimism right now but if we’re being honest, right now we cannot say with confidence that anyone he’s drafted besides Cade would ever be a starter on a good team.

    Ivey can’t even start on the worst team in the league right now. This is touchy, but honestly he’s a bench player for good reason. He is a horrific defender and non-factor off the ball.

    People talking about Saddiq Bey as a “hit” or a notch on Troy’s belt is ridiculous. He shipped him off for arguably the single worst player in the NBA

    Ausar and Duren are hits. I would argue Duren is the single least valuable type of player in the NBA and easy to replace, but he’s young and team controlled for a while so that’s cool.

    And honestly, Troy has done such a horrific job putting this team together that the limitations of the FEW players he’s hit on hold the team back.

    He’s drafted 5 guys in the lottery. Cade, Ivey, Ausar, Killian and Duren. Not A SINGLE ONE OF THEM is an average NBA 3 point shooter. Drafting “best player available” and shoehorning them onto the team to figure it out surrounded by former draft busts is not a legitimate team building strategy.
