There are still some pretty deep issues with the roster The frontcourt really lacks length and grit Gafford is the only rebounder/paint protector they have, Thomas Bryant would have to make a significant jump on D for them to have a passable front court. Kuzma/Kispert/Bertans/Advji is a very rough combo defensively for wings Dinwiddie's health is a concern, Neto/Holiday are mediocre backups It's a step up from WB, obviously, that dude ruins any chance for a nonstacked team to have deep playoff success.
For the East, that’s good enough. May be able to fight for that 6th seed, where teams in an 82 games season are hovering between 43 - 48 wins.
You really blaming the Rox for not having the power of prophecy? How do you know the Rox didnt ask for Dinwiddie and the Nets just didnt give him? I told you multiple times Allen is an expiring, getting would have prevented us from getting thst top pick. Retaining Allen after last season means paying him more than Cleveland offered for him in free agency, the Rox can do that without trading for Allen if they really wanted. It is separate from insisting on having Allen. We used the pick Cleveland gave us for Alperen Sengun, and because Cleveland got both Taurean Prince and Allen, they moved KPJ' locker at the back and he threw food at cleveland mgt. I already explained it to you multiple times you still dont get it??? Trade Allen = Sengun + KPJ, #2 pick Keep Allen = no Sengun, no KPJ, possible 18th pick, lose Allen in free agency unless Tillman pays more than 20M a year. I dont give a **** about Allen. He is just a Capela clone except he is more expensive, costs 20M a year. I'd rather have KPJ and Sengun as possoble prospects to build around Green. Stone did a great job this year given the limited information he had. Yeah there's a lot of luck involved, but you know what they say better to be lucky than good. We are better off now than with Kuzma, Harrell, Dimwiddie and Allen in your dream scenario.
