Luka/Brunson
Green/THJ/Curry
DFS/Bey
Maxi/Crowder
KP

I think that is a pretty good team...

It does bother me that we were so close to have Bey and Bane and instead ended up with three projects in a Covid year, team and coach not conducive to projects.

We’ve obviously missed opportunities in FA for a few years and time is up. Hindsight we should’ve been more perceptive(none of the top guys are coming here). We should’ve brought in guys that actually wanted and begged to be here (Randle and Thad Young etc) 

We really messed up in the draft as well. It’s amazing how poorly we can do after an all time great draft of Doncic-Brunson. Green is a non-shooting non-athlete which is totally unacceptable considering who was drafted after him. Terry is a typical on his way out of the league player. 31 should’ve been traded or use 36 and other assets to move up to take our guy if that was Bane. What a waste

This team is weak. Mentally and physically weak. Both Luka and KP. There’s obviously chemistry issues somewhere(Rick and Donnie included). How was all this supposed to work? Neither Luka or KP can play defense. The REAL unicorns are the 3 guys needed to play with them. Feels like this was only going to work if we had Jrue, Middleton and Giannis to pair with them.......... The team knows it’s over. They stopped playing defense. We’re all just waiting for the summer so we can move forward. It’s been obvious for so long that KP wants out. Hard to have high team morale and defense when everyone knows(don’t care if it’s Luka or KP fault: looks bad on both of them)

We will move on this summer. 5 out only makes sense if the 5(or a special 4) can do the duties needed of a 5 in addition to shooting 3’s. EVERY SINGLE 5 WE PLAY THIS YEAR LOOKS LIKE PRIME HAKEEM! Zero paint defense. KP 35th among C’s in D rating. 36th DRPM among C’s. When is the last time he set a legit screen? We just cannot win like this. We need a roll man who can set screens and rebound and play defense. KP only plays half the games and you need a Covington level 4 next to him. He plays scared like he’s only upping his value and avoiding injury. 

Luka has plenty of blame, but that’s a different topic. We obviously aren’t trading him. He needs major work. And there’s plenty of blame for Rick, Mark and Donnie and all the other players on this team. This is pathetic and it’s time to blow it up this summer. They really didn’t think through this whole “everybody stand at the 3pt line and nobody do the dirty work” model we employ
