Everyone’s coming down on Weaver because he didn’t sign a free agent this summer. I understand the hate relative to their record, but really—who should he have signed? To me, this is much more of a Monty issue that I don’t think signing Cam Johnson for $30+ million a year would have solved.
I think he could have signed some reliable rotation guys who would be with the team for awhile. He instead kicked the can down the road in favor of taking on Harris’s expiring deal.
He also failed to provide enough forward depth or to sign an honest-to-goodness third-string point guard so this team wouldn’t yet again be forced to give Killian big minutes in the event of an injury.
Basic moves to shore up the periphery of the rotation could have been made but weren’t.
