[Official] 2023 Rafael Stone's post-Trade Deadline media availability

Didn't watch it yet but cap room is the most overrated asset in the NBA. 99% of the time it ends in disappointment. Plus, stars don't even use free agency any more.

 

I have all but studied him however during the summer he would crack unfunny jokes, this time he is beyond serious.

His body language says he is not content or happy at all.

Would want to see replay footages of the presser all over again.

 

Trading into the space is probably the most likely option. Take advantage of a team like the Warriors needing to dump salary to avoid huge luxury tax bills. If they don’t win it all this year, you might be able to get a Wiggins or Poole for nothing more than draft picks.

 

For me it would have been him saying "KPJ is coming back next game and he will get 100% of the shots" LMAO this place would implode!

 

That's because you're an idiot with no life who needs a message board to fulfill the void.

 

He says he is not happy with the progress of our young players - seems like there is at least one with whose progress he should be happy?

 

that's a little aggressive

 

He probably realizes his job is on the line. After this year those picks convey to OKC. He's kept Silas even though he's by far the worst coach in the league, the team plays absolutely no defense, no offense sets, Alpi being misused, the list goes on and on.

Every report says he was hands on so he is a big part of this sinking ship. He made the mistake of choosing an immature scrub in KPJ and these are his results. He should have gotten serious about it sooner instead of completely wasting a season. I get we're tanking but there should have been player development. He needs to be fired and he can take his boys Silas and KPJ with him.

Take out the trash.

 

Have you read his posts at others? That's mild compared to what I really think of him

 

I'm sorry but I can't get over Stone looking high as f*ck every time I see him. I'm cool with weed and all but it's a bad look when you're the GM of the worst team in the league 3 years running and you show up to the presser looking like this every time.

 

So its safe to say we will be signing a lot of awesome free agents with all that cap space right guys?

 

Not only that, but having cap room right before the cap about to go up is even less useful

 

Seems like everyone is going to be after Ayton and Poole. But I can Invision it maybe worth to trade the picks and see if you can get 1 of these players.

I can now see how Poole and ayton might see Houston as place to go now both there teams are getting older, and don't have the money to sign them long term like Houston does. Green and Segun might look attractive to build a team with.

 

I do not want Poole. Have people not seen how disappointing he's been this year? Or how he had to be benched in the playoffs?

He has the skillset of a 6th man but struggles when he's not a starter. It's an odd predicament, and his enormous salary only makes it worse.

 

Jordan poole would be nice but to inconsistent. If the Celtics don’t go to finals again I would trade Brooklyn picks to get jaylen brown that’s who I’d target

 

So still not showing support for Silas? Would’ve served Stone well to address the backlash he’s received…

 

I wish next year pick conveys to OKC, but unfortunately seems doubtful… 1-4 protection

 

My concern is that he uses the cap space on fringe guys who get us out of the top 4 and we have to give away the pick.

 

Is is bad that I would rather have Kevin as the head coach over Silas?

 

No.

MilkHair >> Silas
