    You don't even have to do big trades.....just shuffle enough for the rotation to breathe some fresh air.

    Like when you got Dillon and Fred initially.....it was invigorating.....

    I don't think the Bucks are going to want either of them breh, imagine Sengun holding the ball for 20 second possessions and Jalen fake driving and then going back to the center logo before passing it off.....

    My brother, Giannis will keep us in championship contention where our young core can play big games. Once Giannis is past his prime Sengun and Amen will be in their primes. No reason our starters won't develop especially playing big games every season.

    Giannis is also a proven winner. He has that killer mentality and is willing to work hard in the offseason role model for our young core. I think its a perfect fit barring shooting issues. We could always just bench sengun if it becomes an issue in games and put Bari in to spread the floor.

    I hope they are dumb like Dallas to take Sengun for Giannis...... He might still need to talk to the manager about getting his money back thou....

    They put a tariff on Sengun’s layups in game 7
    He didn’t want to pay

    You guys whined and cried all day when we didnt make the playoffs. We make the playoffs and a bunch of 22 year olds take Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry to 7 games. The Warriors are not even really a seven seed if they had started with Jimmy they might have been second and all you do is whine and cry all day and want everyone traded lol We have the dumbest fanbase lol We dont deserve second round if we lost in the 2nd and you guys wouldve whined and cried all day then too.

    They got 2nd seed you act like the team was a lotto team. They flopped in their FIRST playoffs doesnt mean they will suck for the rest of their lives. Last year they only got 0.500 with almost the same crew and missed the playin. This team is young and continues to learn and improve.

    So what? That shouldnt change the timeline of this team. Losing to Curry yet again is horrible, but at the end of the day they are the vet squad and we have a bunch of young 20 yr olds.

    You should follow the Phoenix Suns you know they lost in the Finals and their owner crashed out and traded for KD? How did that turn out?

    This 1000%. Everyone on the planet including Udoka knew that we couldn't shoot the entire season. We didn't need to employ the aw shucks lets see what dem kids can do strategy in the playoffs when we squandered assets at the deadline and could have helped our team. We are a gritty team that SUCKS as shooting. Jalen proved to be a b****. FVV is what he was the whole season. Many of our kids will improve if they shoot 1000 FTs and 500 3s a day until next season starts. Our kids need to go in the lab and stay there and develop their skills.

    The TWolves are not a better team than us but they have Edwards and would probably beat us because he's not afraid to drop 40 if he has to every game. People told us Butler was finished. How about now? We don't need KD. How about now? If we had KD we are scaring the **** out of the Thunder in two weeks. Instead, we are talking about running it back?

    You should interact with golden state warrior, laker fans on x. The kinds of thing they say is absolutely disgusting, especially about the fans and the city.

    I’m so sick of the 2nd seed crap. We were 4 games from the play-in. The average 2nd seed in the West over the last decade is 58 wins. We benefitted from timely injuries to opponents key players and an overall aging of superstars. Settling for this roster will result in a lower seed and another early exit next year. Investing another year on aging FVV and Dillon is a huge mistake. We don’t have to gut our team to get better, but status quo is not the answer. It is time to start spending assets to construct a more balanced roster. If Ime can’t improve the offense when given a better roster, then he needs to go. In reality, I believe we had a good enough roster to make it further this year, we just had a coach with a group of greyhounds that he tried to change into Rottweilers.

    And all of the 68 Win team, the 64 Win team and the 61 Win team all lost at home in the 2nd round.......parity seems pretty big.
