This seems like a step back to 2015-16 levels.

    It seems like we have some new strange rosters: I can't imagine that Carmelo and MCW going to be the answer to the GS. I can't image Carmelo and MCW are going to replace the defense for Ariza and Luc?

    I'm worried that Capela will sign with European team for one season.

    2015 wasn’t a step back in the off-season.

    MCW is the new Gary Payton + Shane Battier. He is going to hold Golden State to 50 points.

    But srsly, I can sense the similarities between now and 2015, and was thinking the same thing. Come off of an emotional high and then a gut punch to end the season... flounder around a bit in the offseason, sign Marcus Thornton (and some other scrubs), get Ty Lawson (e.g. Carmelo Anthony). Jettison both during the season.

    One KEY difference though - leadership of Paul + D'Antoni >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kevin McHale.
    We may want to start freaking out if we start the season 4-7, though...

    My best guess is that owner is not happy to pay luxury tax, that is the reason we don't improve our rosters.

    The wheels will fall off clutchfans if we don't resign CC to an extension. One year drama will be awkward

    Tilman on camera: "I'd love to pay that luxury tax!..."

    Tilman off camera: "...If we get Lebron James, otherwise **** NO"

    Harden on not recruiting: "We don't need Lebron to win a chip!"
