    These trades suggest no, Leslie's words say definitely no, so just no then?

    It's not like they are not trying. Morey just can't **** out Goran Dragic or Brandon Knight.

    I think our hopes for win now rest with Dwight's knee if he is healthy we are right there as assembled, if not, no one available in trade would take us there.

    You know we Dwights coming back for the playoffs and then they will let him off the hook with surgery. Its been planned out the whole time

    This team, even if healthy, has a very good chance to make a first round exit in the playoffs.

    It's not about being negative, it's realistic. We are clearly not contenders right now and we had clear needs, but Leslie is not worried about a first round exit and paying luxury tax is very tough on his wallet. Makes sense

    Yeah, I think first round is the ceiling. Unless these pickups change something, or Dwight somehow plays like he did on Orlando... I just don't feel good about the playoffs, I almost feel worse than last year...

    Always next year?? Our famous motto!!! Lol

    Morey has to go all in at some point. The blinds are only going to get bigger.
