Samson Folk reminding us it’s about building for the future



The team as it stands isn’t built for this offence and we shouldn’t be expecting them to contend this season

    Year 3 of not building around Scottie, by the way

    This is very true. It is also hard to accept in the context of the FO refusing to make moves that build towards the future and instead finding players that make this offense harder to execute.

    The team abandoned the .5 offense a game and a half into the season. This is not an environment where you learn that movement and giving up the ball is the right way to play.

    This is the 3rd year I will say that I don’t think all 3 of OG, Siakam and Scottie can work together.

    Scottie was visibly frustrated with Dennis at one point where you could tell he didn’t agree with where Dennis was telling him to be. Either Scottie needs to be in full control of the offense when he’s on the floor, or he’s gonna need to learn to let go a bit

    If it’s about building for the future then why has our lottery pick gotten 8 total minutes of playing time?

    Building for the future with no pick

    Scottie will dip if this team isn’t his and built correct around him.

    It’s game 2, it will take time. This is what it means to have ups and downs.

    This is like when Bryan Colangelo kept saying we were “rebuilding” even though we were definitely not.

  10. AngryHelicopter

    I agree with this, but there’s no way that hypothetical 2025-2026 roster includes all three of Scottie, Siakam, and OG, so what the fuck are we doing here?

    Building a future with 4 important rotation guys heading into free agency 😤

    It almost feels inevitable that Pascal gets traded this season. Him, OG, and Scottie together is a defensive nightmare but offensively we just don’t have enough shooting (and will be way too expensive with all three).

    Sometimes I wonder what we would look like right now if we drafted Desmond Bane rather than Malachi.

    The reaction last night was a bit ridiculous.

    Everybody in here said we’d be play in or lower this year lol

    We won a couple times in the preseason then in our home opener and had a bad quarter and people were saying BLOW IT UP

    They’re just gamblers.

    the fanbase is doing that classic raptor fan chicken little bullshit crying over a loss lol

  15. NBAball05

    The newer fans are so used to winning since the chip, and now that we lose a game all of a sudden we should just tank. Basically championship or bust every year
