2026 NBA draft thread

[mvossman]

I would add that it is important to develop a culture of winning, which has not been present for the last two seasons. This team now has a 19yo heart who has said he's tired of losing, so you determine who among the current contracts is on board and who is ready for their next team.

Matthews, Jordan and Harrison were all shutting out Luka during his rookie year and the MBT cleaned house to open a path for the team to grow. That may include some older players, which isn't saying much since Coop's only 19, that may bring key contributions in the interim and contribute to growing the winning culture.

I haven't really seen anything this season that resembled what we saw in Luka rookie season.  I don't think there is anybody that needs to be moved from a locker room standpoint.  I just think they need to get younger and accumulate assets, and if that means losing a few more games this coming season than otherwise then so be it.
