One offseason where he had a month to prepare is not in any way enough time for all the hate poured his way. I would've liked to see lots of moves that offseason, and there needs to be lots of moves going forward. I WILL start to sour on him if he doesn't make a move or 2 by the TDL this year.
I am not sure if there is a big move available now. In fact, I may not want to make my "all in move" now. I certainly expected better play at this stage. Although my focus was 1) seeing if KP could stay healthy and be close to expectations of play and 2) see if he and Luka can combine their powers to make them both better players. Depending on those answers my direction for our big move will be different. We have finite chances making a big trade, so I wanted to have those answers before I went "all in".
What I will be watching Nico and Kidd is how they improve around the edges. Starting Powell with this lineup is not the answer. So what is the next move? Do they find a C/PF who can be a short term fix? Can they find another creator? Neither move will make this a championship roster so I want to be picky what I give up. But I think there are upgrades to these needs. Does Nico find them and make good decisions or do we just ride what we currently have? If he can't find a deal, my confidence will go down even futher.
BTW, man I feel like I am really negative right now on my posts. I swear I am not that negative.
