You can't say we haven't gotten better as a team.

Hill may be a huge overpay but is leaps and bounds better on defense than any wing we had last year.

Same with Moore plus he can shoot. Add Hield to the mix which I think over time will be an upgrade over Gordon along with qpon coming back and we're a solid team that can make the playoffs barring injury. We have to be healthy at some point right? Haha

I hope we get Taj Gibson too. Always liked him.

We are definitely better. I say the range is 35-47 wins depending I injury luck and AD taking a step up

We still have room to improve and might be able to sign a few guys from our summer league squad to help fill spaces

Has anyone else noticed that virtually all posters with '504' in their username are pretty terrible?

Even last years team, if healthy, was around a 6 seed. I find it funny that people look at us as a 30 win team. We're much more than that when healthy.









Granted, we're never healthy.

Well to be fair, given the holes we have, there was nowhere to go but up.

We still need a center and a backup point

Asik will surprise people (in a good way) this season. You'll see.

To be fair replacing Gordon with Hield was really the only change we were guaranteed to make this offseason. I think it's hard to not like the general change in direction of player type they are shifting to.

I agree that were better for sure, but none of the players they have signed will take us to the next level. We needed to make a splash in FA and really haven't.

Frazier and Douglas played well last season. A PG rotation of Jrue/Frazier/Douglas is pretty good. The key is Jrue staying healthy.

We were never going to make a splash in FA unless we traded our pick or Jrue.

And this board (minus 504) would have rioted if we did

Asik really just has to stay healthy. He never got into a real rhythm being hurt all year last year.

I hope he gets better. Seems like a nice guy.

Gotta find a way to fill the bench scoring gap with Ryno leaving. Need some guys to develop and step up big going into the season.

Jrue has been overrated here since day one. I even thought be was meh his allstar. He should have definitely been traded. His best asset is he's a easy fit on anytime but isn't a needle moved. You never hear teams say we have to game plan for jrue because of ___.
