    Not a surprise at the stand pat. Not super surprised at the reaction either because this fanbase is:

    [​IMG]

    Veruca Salt levels of whiny, entitled, impatient and bratty.

    Tate for 2nds from the Mavs? How about fk the Mavericks.

    Nobody wanted our offer of Landale and Bullock for an all-star? WHAT THE HELL MAN

    The whole trade-your-way-to-the-top thing is desperate and ineffective in almost every single case. You know who killed the last decade? The Warriors and their drafted stars. That's what I want. Being on the Harden treadmill again ain't it. Donovan Mitchell lol so that we can immediately get over how he's not winning us a title single-handedly and start desperately wheeling and dealing until the **** falls apart again in 3 seasons? Wretched.

    Jalen and Alpe gonna get better. Jabari and Tari gonna get better. Amen and Cam gonna get better. Add another top 10 pick, Maybe another depending on how long and how stupid BKN wants to be. Give these guys HALF a season of being healthy and playing together and developing. Chemistry is real, another downfall of Moreyball spinning wheels.

    Why give this up? We're on the right path.

    Biyombo is still available

    I agree. Tate should play to set the tone only when we have injuries to core people.

    yeah 4 years of losing and a GM who started the rebuild on a foundation of Christian Wood and KPJ, and hasn’t really made trades at these deadlines to significantly improve the team. But yeah, the fan base is just bratty. lol.

    It seems like they have a great plan for back center. His name is Steven Adams. The plan goes into effect next season.

    I'm happy, at least we didn't dump our future for bridges or some other crap like that.

    Was thinking about this too. While I was annoyed to see us do literally nothing except get Adams for next season, I'm even happier we didn't trade Green plus like four first round picks for a roleplayer who will be past his prime when we actually contend for anything

    Team just spent the last 3 years among the worst in NBA history and let’s blame the fans. Sure Jan. So tired of that noise.

    I don’t know what Joe Harris has left, but I wouldn’t mind taking a flier on him and seeing what Ben Sullivan can do since he used to be a good shooter.

    Huh? Adams is a center, and a traditional defensive center. Playing Bari at the 5 should just be for niche strategies when you want to go 5 out because at the end of the day Sengun is our best player and you want him on the floor as much as possible. Jabari can play all his mins at the 4 alongside him as well.

    Sullivan has his work cut out with Jalen and Amen already IMO.
