Keep AD and Jrue, send everyone else - coaching staff and front office included - packing.

These aren't the guys long-term, and this isn't how we hold onto AD. I am FAR from a nega-Pel, but I think I've seen enough.

But Quincy, tho.

Seriously how long does it take to come back from a hamstring injury. Apparently 5 months.

Blow it up, we won't win it all with EG, Ryno, and Reke on the roster. If you aren't playing for the trophy, get the frick out the league.

coaching staff


The general direction of the team is what I'm most unsure about. If we had smarter, more versatile players, isn't this the kind of staff you'd want? Was Kerr really that much of a motivator and game manager, or does GS have smart and talented players running the right schemes? Do you never hear about bad rotations with the good teams because their coaches are brilliant, or because their teams are are deep? It's not like Pop is choosing between slow dumb (Tyrec) and fast dumb (Cole).

So do we really want to go away from Gentry (in general) and the modern NBA and towards JVG/Thibs? I was strongly pro JVG but that was also thinking a better version of Monty could get more out of this team. If you're blowing it all up, is that the direction to go?

There are a bunch of selfish by nature players on the roster and that's a killer. GSW and Spurs play team basketball.

NOP: receive deng, whiteside, green & richardson
MIA: receive gordon and (2) 2nds

Miami's currently the 3 seed, unless they can flip those 2nds for win now players they'd never do that. Rumor is that they've been dangling Winslow because Riley knows his time is limited and doesn't care about dumping a good future player if it helps them win now.

Would you give up Ryno for Winslow? Don't see any combo working for EG

gordon would help their shooting, without question.
plus he's expiring and MIA is over the tax this year.
for NOP, you re-sign whiteside, stretch asik next year. see if you can get deng to re-sign (if not, he's a 10MM expiring), as well as green

richardson is salary filler

Windhorst was on Zach Lowe's podcast recently and had this to say about Whiteside

quote:

"This is a guy who is going to get a max contract in the summer. And he's absolutely not a Heat player," said Windhorst on Zach Lowe's podcast. "His style of play, his personality, the way he goes about his business is not congruent with the way the Heat normally go about themselves.

"The Heat have a decision to make: do you ride out the season with Whiteside or do you package him with (Luol) Deng before the deadline."


To answer the OP, you absolutely have to blow this roster up. We aren't winning shite as it's constructed, but I don't know if we have the mngmt to get us back on track.

Yeah, but that's not the issue. You just traded about 90 minutes of productivity per game for 40 minutes of productivity (Winslow is already at 27 MPG so his minutes wouldn't go up much). I guess they have Birdman to take Whiteside's minutes, but Green and Deng are offensive wing minutes that Winslow isn't going to replace. They'd need to get at least 1 rotation worthy wing with the 2nds.

Yes there's an idea. We can be the new 76er's and rebuild and tank for the next 2 decades.

This instant gratification society we have become is ridiculous.

The 76ers do not have Anthony Davis

See GS with Curry or OKC with Durant. You have a transcendent player, you just need to acquire picks and hit on them. Add complimentary FA. Rebuild goes from having no end in sight to 2-3 years with Davis
