Powell has been great but it has also delayed what they really need to figure out. What can Ware, Herro, & Niko be.
I truly don’t think any of this matters. Spo hasn’t been getting improvements out of his groups for 3 years.
We get little jolts of energy here and there, when we introduce something new, like Jovic 2 years ago, Ware last year, probably might happen again with Kasparas this year, but eventually we just trend down.
Health is now the big issue for all NBA teams.
What matters most is getting our star
I wonder if its more than just poor play at this point thats keeping Jovic on the bench. Its not like Fontechio is playing well to justify playing him over Jovic.
Norm makes any lineup better, Tyler needs to be on ball to be effective, as does JJ…i would press to let Norm and Davian press the offense initially, then pull Powell and let Tyler flow, then bring Norm back with JJ on the second team
Niko is a negative defender, his long shot is on and off mostly off, he wants to be on ball offensively but lots of turnovers driving and passing , ditto Jakucionis
so if we dont get giannis, we are probably looking at dealing norm before we lose him to free agency no? seeing as we did get him for nothing. would be a shame though. i'm for moving tyler as you're probably gonna get more in return for him given his age. really no way to keep the 2. not only is it redundant, it doesn't work on defense. biggest miscalculation was extending jovic when you didnt need to just because of his eurobasket play. that's sort of blowing up in their face right now. which just brings us back to the giannis trade. that really solves A WHOLE LOT OF ISSUES in one go. gotta hope it pushes through
Niko bad signing the extension made no sense
