OK, i know it's ridiculously early in the season and we have a new cast of characters we're trying to mix in.
but seriously- blow this team up already. well not completely. but take whatever draft picks and expiring contracts you can for sheed. and billups if he's not going to stick around.
if we want to struggle to make the playoffs and get into the 2nd round each year, then keep the team as is. but if we want to build for another title, we need to make a drastic move or 2.
if we're going to tank any year, THIS is the year to do it. i'm not seriously suggesting we purposely lose, as i know players don't care about draft positioning, etc. but really- this is looking like it might be one of the most top heavy drafts in nba history, assuming some of these college freshmen declare.
a lottery pick assures us of a really talented kid with a ton of potential. we need an athletic stud who can create his shot and get to the hoop- we pretty much have NOBODY who fits that description right now.
we are a mismatched team with no identity. while we try to find it all year long the rest of the nba is coasting past us.
no, we're not finished- we're a long way from it. but seriously- this team is not going to win the title or even get to the conference finals like this.
i wish we could somehow acquire another 1st round pick or 2 so we can get some REAL talent on this team to help reload.
we had better entertain all offers leading up to the deadline in february so we can get some picks in an effort to right the ship. IMO damn near everyone should be considered for trade.
