    I'd rather have another shot at Wemby/Scoot than trying to build on our heavily flawed prospects. :oops:

    ok, youre a grown man and have your opinion just like me, but perhaps, just perhaps, in the days and weeks ahead you'll begin to realize that every prospect is flawed/perfect only dependent on circumstances/envoronment...and if jalen green were on the warriors youd be crying 'it's not fair to pair jalen green with steph! why adam silver let this happen?!'

    youd be saying 'why cant rockets get players like this!'

    and
    vice versa

    if rockets had steph curry youd be thinking hes a heavily flawed player and youd be crying for more talent infusion...

    There are enough rookies&sophomores that did well at terrible franchises and under coaches we can't even name anymore.

    People need to acknowledge that most of our prospects only did one year of college or none, which led to them not developing in the usual environment and having heavy flaws that are hard to work on at this stage.

    Silas isnt that innovative and he doesnt base game plan on player strengths, he is just trying his best to copy Rick Carlise without any of the skills of a championship coach so it lacks context.

    Happy for Lauri Markkanen. He looked uninterested in basketball for a couple years there in Chicago. I wonder what lit his fire.

    Thats not a guarantee. Look at the Knicks and the Kings and how long it took them to rebuild.

    Boiling things down to coaching doesnt matter is never a good take. I've learned that from experience.

    No one is saying it doesn't matter, but some people here act like we have a roster full of gems that plays pi** poor and makes bad decisions constantly solely due to the coach or "environment", that's not how it works either.

    If you want to know the disconnect between the hype of Green between fans on clutch fans and Utah Jazz TV commentators.... Last night during the game the lady commentator said that Green has a higher ceiling than Ja Morant... And they all agreed.


    I actually disagree with that take because Morant's ball skills are much higher but just showing the absurd difference in takes of Green

    Except that no one said coaching doesn't matter, but you choose to ignore the clarifications. :oops:
