The “difficult to deal with” regarding our front office is something that we’ve heard too many times to think that there isn’t at least an hint of a larger truth there.
You can’t always fleece the other team. This paralysis has been clear the last couple of seasons.
The only scenario that could partially excuse Bobby and Masai, is that the owners have categorically told them that they will not accept a rebuild. I haven’t seen this option in any speculation, but I guess it’s always possible.
It’s rough anyway, we are stuck.
Fine, but that Boston comparison makes no sense. They had a young core with two elite wings (Tatum and Brown) that already went to the Eastern Conference Finals.

It would be like if we made the Eastern conference finals last year, with Scottie and another youn guy at Scottie’s level. If that was the case I don’t think anybody here would complain too much. Instead we’ve been quite bad for a while now, and we don’t have young talent apart from Scottie, and our front office seems afraid to do anything.
