If he'd have gotten here a year earlier with Monty and CP, it might've been different.
He was here with Monty and CP. And we still folded in the playoffs.
It was all Ayton's fault.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

KD tried following the same path as LBJ. LBJ left Cleveland when he didn't win and joined Wade in Miami to get his ring and secure his legacy. He did that, then went back to Cleveland to win "his own" ring because that was knock on him in Miami. KD couldn't win in OKC, jumped to GS to get a ring and secure his legacy, then went to Brooklyn with Kyrie to win "his own" ring because everyone called him a coattail rider. We know how BK turned out....

But those guys were intent on getting their rings because you can't claim greatness without one.
I don't know about that. Barkley did a pretty good job. Karl Malone and John Stockton were no slouches either. Steve Nash...

dot.net won't be much fun for a while, will it?

Trade everyone, rebuild. I trust JJ more with mid or late first rounders than lottery picks anyway. Let him do his job.

The worst years of the 2010s rebuild sucked. But watching a young team grow and improve can be fun. I would enjoy 30+ minutes of Dunn and Oso plus other future exciting rookies and energy guys.

I wish we could find the balance between having nothing but young players, and a group of only veterans.
Youth equals athleticism and energy; things we sadly have been missing.
