2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

I don't know what you want me to say, man. 

Yes, the situation is terrible. We've all known that for over a year. I'm just happy they're trying to dig out from under, finally. The fact that you're so angry about this deal leads me to believe you wanted them to keep trying to make Porzingis work. I think that would've been worse.

Lets say they did something like turn KP into Dragic and Holmes.  That was brought up in the threads right before the TDL.  The generally impression was that seemed light for KP.  I would have been a little disappointed in the return, but happy to get off of KP.  I would have been excited to see the team with a legit starting center who can P&R with Luka, protect the rim and rebound.  Powell would have been in his perfect spot as a 15 minute energy backup center.  Then you have DFS/Bullock/Maxi for your 3/4 spots.  Dragic would have been the perfect 3rd PG and in playoffs its probably a Luka/Brunson/Dragic for the 1/2 spots.  That is probably not a contender, but its a good team with a lot of fitting parts.  It also has no real bad contracts, and room to maneuver next off season.

What we got was so much worse that our collective assumed light return for KP.  This team feels like a bunch of ill fitting parts with some really bad contracts and no way to get better.  It was such a gut punch.  It seems like every offseason/TDL is more disappointing than the last.
