They're tanking. Plain and simple. Sure Dirk's out but he's not the elite player he once was and he's slowly settling into that Tim Duncan-past-2-years role. Problem is Dirk don't have an Aldridge or Leonard to rely upon. He has a Barnes and a Matthews. 1. Tank the season. 2. Trade Bogut and Matthews at the trade deadline for draft picks 3. Grab a high pick in next year's draft 4. Stockpile young and cheap players to put around Barnes
$17 mill a year for the next 4 years ain't bad. He's still shooting 38% from the arc and he defense is still above average.
Too bad they have their pick, it's a pretty top heavy draft. On the bright side, they're paying Harrison Barnes $24M/yr to be their franchise player! Haha.
- Blowing his **** at a scrub - Sitting the team down for a post game meeting (first time he's done this in his career; made them watch the third quarter which they lost by 17) - calling two timeouts in the 4th that he didn't have, copping the subsequent techs Seems like Rick's starting to lose his mind, lol...
