    This is an amazingly quick turnaround from a bunch of kids pushing for the playoffs to a bunch of old assholes on the decline



    Udoka really didn't sign on to be a developmental coach, he only wants washed up, injury prone vets, preferably who played for him before.

    The only ones among the bunch of kids who pushed for playoffs who are gone are Jalen Green and Cam Whitmore. Or wait, Whitmore was already gone right? So literally just Jalen Green lmao.

    Its crazy how you are pushing this narrative when its a bunch of BS. You really think you have something here?

    Oh yeah man Sengun Amen Jabari Tari and Reed are all old ass retirees now. Amirite???

    But but but Adams and FVV are 2 yrs older now than 2 yrs ago. We got old, man we got old.

    Hopefully we get a couple top 10 picks next draft and select a couple guards as Fred & DFS expires

    Lots of expirings in a year that saw a sea change in the playing field. This leaves solid talent on really poor teams which becomes a buyers market at the trade deadline.

    Used your margin moves on solidifying the guard rotation. Didn’t overpay for a bad contract/old player combo.

    I’ve seen much worse.

    I bet the locker room smells like Bengay and Voltaran.

    love ya WestendMassive, but y’all gotta stop with this Ime narrative while letting Stone off the hook

    unless Ime has a gun pressed to Stone’s back making him do all these decisions, then this is on Stone

    Stone is a cuck to Ime for what reason?

    Stone out here acting like a damn bot…

    *beep, boop, bop* must sign old, washed player

    somebody upgrade this idiot’s programming

    Most players in the league aged over 32 isn't a narrative or a bunch of BS. It's a fact. Sorry the calendar doesn't agree with your opinion

    Yep should have cooked Stone as well, my bad. His only priority is self preservation and not being judged until 2030

    These stupid dumb ****s thought age and inexperienced was the reason they keep failing in the post season

    they really think they have something here. At this point the axis of evil is trying to cover their asd and that’s it

    What a waste of time, and we are further from being a contender than last year.

    That’s what happens when u sit out back to back drafts and only sign or trade for old players.

    At least, if this season is a failure, Ime will take the blame and be gone.
