Never say die. I think it's a little too early. I do agree, though, that we need an extended look on the vets and see if we can get something back. Poeltl will be hard to replace. The way he seals opponent rim protection is vital to RJ's strengths.
Eh, the Knicks game was more the beginning of Ja'Kobe Walter's ascendance over the team … and the league. Whenever a door closes, another door opens.
Who cares about what the team and/or BBQ is capable of? We don't yet have enough talent to knock off the Cavs or the Thunder in the playoffs. Let's focus on developing the individual players. And it's helpful to not have vets like Brown or even Scottie taking minutes away from the yutes. 2025-26 should be the season to see how it all fits together. 2026 is also apparently a good draft, as Darko has noted, and we'll have two decent FRPs. So further growing pains next season will actually be welcomed by management.
The background music was still playing in my head 😂
If scottie is out for more than 2 weeks, and IQ is not coming back anytime soon, then it's really time to tank. Trade Jakob and let Fernandes be the tank commander while the young core developes
doomer here.. you know damn well we're not trading any of our vets, specially canadian olynyk to tank.. if we didn't tank for wemby, we're not tanking for flagg. don't be surprised when i'm right
The end of what, losing??
