If you're building around a 22 year old and planning for him to have the ball in his hands, there's a maturation process that you simply can't get around. It takes time for him to learn how to play to the strengths of others. Hell, it takes time to find the others in the first place. He has elevated the franchise this far just from sheer talent, but it's unreasonable to expect them to actually contend until more experience is gained, imo.
We are waiting in line, just like at six flags.
I don't see why this is not a win-now team. Luka plays at an MVP level so why can't you build a winning team right now? Lebron just twisted the sh*t out of his ankle. Stuff happens. KP should be playing better, maybe he will maybe he won't. I don't like this plan powder game we keep playing.
I am not advocating giving away the store at the TDL. I am just generally frustrated that this FO, since KP was traded (which I still like) gave away Barnes for nothing and hasn't signed anybody except Curry who they then traded for expiring J Rich. That and some rookies that don't play. Mavs could have made a big move this summer with those picks but decided to nibble around the edges bc Giannis was just around the corner. Oh well.
