I guess it depends if they are still in the hunt for a playoff berth. That treasure trove of picks has them in the drivers seat.
I don’t think buyers but the thought crossed my mind. However I do think they will just hum along until a good offer shows up. They have no urgency to make any rash decisions. We are doing this with players hurt too. And lost Russ/PG/Grant.
I will say, I’ve been hard on Billy but he is coaching them up. I think his issue was walking into a playoff team whereas now he is able to coach and place players in how he wants them too. Not a slam on KD, Russ, Melo, PG, Grant and others but they were harder to coach. When they all left he can implement his system
You got better with the Westbrook trade, so the result is pretty logical. Plus you got picks for it. Presti is manager of the year :-)
I was saying before season start that this is a good team and didn't understand why they should blow it up with all the players and picks they have. Just extend Gallo and look for opportunity when next disgruntled star wants out. They have plenty of assets for any kind of deal.
Its a challenge. No way to add player to compete. Yet too good to tank. I think they will just keep humming along until a team sees a must have player to compete and offers a lot. Yet they have no need to make a rash decision. Fans seem more happy this year than past and I chalk it up to no pressure to go for a title. Fans started off with zero expectations other than to just enjoy BB yet have fallen for the effort they give.
CP3 had a bad rep when he got here mainly it was him saying he didn’t want to be here. His camp and team camp have worked hard to undo that and its working. He is coaching up players. Saying right things. Doing civic things. So his rep is much better
