2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[DanSchwartzgan]

That Powell extension.. oof... wasn't a fan the moment it was signed and it has rippled all the way down into potentially costing this team a title on a year where there were lots of injuries and it was up for grabs.

Boy I hope this idea that “we could have won it all in 2022 except for ______” doesn’t become part of the narrative around here.  We finished exactly where our talent allowed us to finish…possibly higher.  We didn’t have nearly the depth to compete against GS and the series wasn’t that close (and they were missing an exceptional on-ball defender in Payton).  

Do we need upgrades AND some additional depth…absolutely.  Should we have been adding some of that while we were dicking around the two summers prior to the Bullock summer…yes.  Did Powell’s MLE contract (essentially) somehow prevent us from doing some move we would have otherwise done?  I don’t see it.
