Now that the draft is done, here's what should be the blueprint

I agree! but mostly we should play the young players as well as a couple of older players..
We should play to be the best team in the West ! I do not agree we should not be shooting for the 8th position.Y

 

No blueprint.....people tell me just accumulate talent. Win, draw or bust.

Why have 8 guards when you can have 10?

 

Hell naw! We got two years of tank. We gonna get Chet next year.

 

You lost me at trading them

I don’t think all 4 will be max contract players lol

 

The year to start winning are the OKC swap years.

Rebuilding is tough and unpredictable

 

this is a good problem to have. the better they all are the better the trade assets they are. they are all unproven at this point, even christian wood to an extent, he needs to do it for a full season, and not be injury prone. Ideally, we'll have so much young talent that some of them can be packaged for a disgruntled superstar. Except for green. i am hoping that he will be our next home grown one. They all have a lot of time to put on muscle and refine their game, mainly their three point shooting, incuding tate.

ideally, it'll take some time for them to develop so we can tank again next year while trying and get another top five draft pick. Then we can make sure to trade gordon and wall by next summer.

 

Yes they are typing but… three of them already have professional experience which makes me wonder if that was strategic and not just coincidental.

 

Stone trying to build us like the Phoenix Suns.
Jalen as our Booker, Sengun as our Ayton, KPJ as our Chris Paul, Jae'Sean Tate/Garuba as our Jae Crowder, KJ Martin/Josh Christopher as athletic wings coming off the bench. We are just one max salary player from competing and that won't happen until John Wall is off this team books

 

Why are we worrying about this already?

During rebuilding, you get as many young guys with potential as possible. It is impossible to predict who will pan out, who will be a bust and who will overperform. The more young guys you get the better. Any of them that show promise will have high trade value later on if you do need to make future deals for established superstar or better fit or whatever else

 

i would be shocked if we made the playoffs. I imagine we'll struggle on the defensive end and probably won't shoot well enough from 3 either. Unless KPJ and Green turn into all stars over night. i doubt that though. they'd probably struggle on the defensive end. We are missing our glue guys like tucker and ariza. Tate's 3 point shot isn't good enough....yet. We need guys to get in there and do the dirty work. i doubt sengun will be ready or garuba. We have a lot of players who need to get better.... HEY if it happens, it happens....i'll be glad to see it and cheer them on.

 

why not go for 5 bad seasons in a row so we can field an allstar team?
lolololol rockets fans sound so pathetic I am afraid basketball gods may decide this team to be moved to seattle

 

Never go full.......the 2019 and 2020 draft classes weren't anything special.

 

Who are we beating?
Mavs
Warriors
Lakeres?
Clippers?
Nuggets?
Memphis?
Suns?
jazz?

thats 8 right there and 8 with established stars who were tere last year.



not counting if pelicans and Twolves, trailblazers, kings who have stars ahead of ours will make.


Thats why we need to do this right, another top pick and we can have the cornerstones right. Even the lowly twolves have Towns,Edwards, Russel and a few really solid complentry players

Kings have Fox, Halliburton Traiblazers have the obvious and are a playoff team, but maybe in a limbo if they get traded

S who are we passing? This may still be fine, we can get that top pick cornerstone next year. We were the worst player inthe draft and added 2 rookies, I Want to see them develop and I think we'll have some upsets with the grit and identity of this team aching to win, but we're still a vey, very young team coming off the worst year and adding rookies. I expect a good fight, but I also am thinking o what foundation we need to look at to build a winner

I do agree about the culture and getting used to losing, but i tink our best bet to do that is get vets who have winning experience, are well respect BOTh in our staff and on our roster. All the greats talk about the mentor who helped them work and tuaght em what it takes in this league, I'm not sure any of us belive John Wall is that guy. Maybe Kelly? Hes been on winning teams, hes played multiple roles. but we probably need a couple and on the staff so they know how its done and what it takes in mental and physical committment to win and be great in this league. We do not want talented 19 year olds running around with the power. Vets wont cost that mcuh and are integral to set the culture.


From that, more staff...shooting coaches and development like the staff, new facilities as tilman said in 2017,and building those look at Nets/sixers including a restaurant where they eat healthier, keep comrads in house and build chemistryn and just everything we can so that they come in and work and not worry aobtu any other details, not worried their vet may gettraded for tax reasons or any bullshit. This is a new chapter, we made great s teps yesterday to move on from teh terrible year and hopefully ownership learned from tat terrible year to build a true NBa winner and bring back clutch city.

Slowly the frustration of the burn down of an amazing talent/team is going further in the rear view mirror and new 'greener' pastures are in the horizon. Hopefulyl we move forward but also learn from mistakes so Green doesn't end up gone in 7 years too.

 

we need to trade them before the deadline at the very latest…otherwise in a few years we could be liable for the dreaded repeater tax

 

I presume you mistyped... it can be a real b**** when the blueprints are wrong...lol

 

Play the rookies and showcase them while we lose, lose, lose. Get another top pick next year.

Next year trade Wall and 1 or 2 of these showcased young guys; (KMJ/Garuba for example) for the next disgruntled star. (Like Beal and Dame are now). Gordon and Augustin need to be moved for expirings post haste. Then in 2023 you should be around max space and the Brooklyn picks are ready to start paying off.

KPJ
Green
Disgruntled Star
Max FA Star
2022 Lotto pick.
Wood/Sengun

That’s how you do it. It’s kind of how Boston tried it with Tatum/Brown and traded for Irving and signed Hayward. Sound plan just didn’t work out due to injuries.
