As a Nugs fan, it seemed odd to me that TC supposedly lost his mind with the Gobert trade (even though your season was full of injuries) and even though he was widely respected for YEARS.
My fear was and is now growing even more every day that TC knew exactly what he was doing. He saw first hand that the Nuggets were the immediate and likely somewhat long-term threat and he built a team to combat them. Fucking smart. I am far from a BB genius or even above average IQ, but how the Suns are applauded for building a team with no solution to Jokic is baffling.
OK, I’ve kissed your teams ass enough. I am not scared. You are. See you after game 7. Also fuck your lakes - not worth the insane amount of mosquitos that come with them in my 2 day experience.
Hope I’m wrong!
He did take a well loved and decently performing team and blow it up for the Gobert trade. I think MN fans were justifiably angry when we had a very rare taste of success and a new GM comes in and blows it up. Not saying the anger was justified in hindsight but it is explainable.
Yeah I was so sad when that team was broken up. They are dear to my heart.
But I can’t believe I’m saying this…but I find this team even more likeable and more fun than the 21-22 team. Didn’t think that was possible because I LOVED that team but here we are. The upside of his team is much higher imo too. I don’t miss that 21-22 team anymore.
