Keep Davis and Asik and MAYBE Jrue. Other than that from the GM on down can GTFO. I know the warriors are a great team but no way the Pels should have gotten embarrassed liked they did last night.

I think we'll get hot in January - March and end up with a win total in the high 40s. I'm not overreacting to this loss and I will say that I'm not opposed to the right kind of blowing it all up where AD, Jrue and Asik are the only pieces you hold back.

Our schedule in late November into December is brutal. We knew this heading in. Hang around .500 and then make the move.

I am not mad they lost. I figured they would but they got embarrassed. How can you look that shitty coming off a good win against the Thunder?

That's going to be tough in the West.

Probably just close enough to save Monty's job

Statements like this without any type of elobaration are worthless.

Not only lost, but we got flat out embarrassed against one of the West premiere teams on national TV. It shows you just how far away we are from title contention. I seriously doubt we make the playoffs this year. Can't make a run with such erractic play from all your starters outside of AD and a terrible bench.

I'm on the "blow this shite up" bandwagon as well.

fair enough. I don't think giving up 2 first rounds picks were worth it. Has the move really made us a better team?

The thing about blowing it up, and keeping David, Asik, and Jrue, is that we have basically no other tradeable/desirable assets outside of them 3. Maybe some team could want Tyreke, but even that is a long shot.

I've got no problems with Jrue. Was it a high price to pay? Yes, but I still haven't seen an alternative path that was definitely better. I think a better case can be made for Tyreke being the move you take back. I still prefer Asik to Lopez long term and would do the Asik trade all over again and find someone to give us some value for Lopez. But take Tyreke off this team and replace him with Vasquez, Morrow and another $3-$5 million wing player and the team is better.

Yea I don't understand that move. Maybe they thought Gordon would be moved.

They definitely thought Gordon would be moved, Demps was trying to move him the season before signing Tyreke.

This makes me sad until I realize that roster might be decent enough to tread water with Monty in the 48-50 win territory.

Don't want to make any moves this year whatsoever, outside of firing Monty, because I want this to be the last shite show year with AD. No more tying our hands.

What if the move is mandated from above to completely clear out salary (except for AD/Asik/Jrue)?

Dell Monty are then fired and a new GM gets a better situation.
