Adds to the fun of this place.I have to recant a bit to share my true feeling. Completely failed, in the sense that there is only 1 max worthy guy that would make the Giannis plan (of getting a superstar this offseason) a success for that #1 goal. Kawhi Leonard will enter FA. The chances of him coming here are slim to none, however, today’s game win MIGHT make that closer to slim than none!
Hell, when this window ends, I'll say it for you!
Not completely failed in that hopefully they can come out with a successful #2 plan that looks good in the end. Most of that will depend on if they trade KP, and what value they extract in return. Once that is determined, THJ’s contract will be the next determining factor. Finally, the rest of the story, will round out the grade, then next season will determine the success.

33 wins, lottery
43 wins, 7th seed
48 wins, 5th seed -- and it can be argued this team's record would have been even better, but for the extreme covid hit they took during the early season.
That's an incredibly quick climb up the very steep Western Conf ladder, with significant improvement every year. How many teams take one step forward one year, then one step back the next? Those who claim this team isn't getting any better the last couple of years need to look again.
