I honestly thought we'd win 45 this year

Had all the injuries not happened and with how well the big 5 was playing with each other we would've came pretty damn close(hell we might still win 40 or so,we'd just have to go 17-13)

Which is mediocre in the Western conference. As structured and with the lack of cap flexibility, this team would be at the level of Houston the past decade at best. Houston finally got out of their own way and put together a potential contender, but had to blow things up to get there.

Right. Because our young players couldn't possibly get better. And their contracts are forever.

I agree on monty but:

45+ wins after winning 48 the past TWO years is a huge improvement(if it happens,worse case scenario we win 40-42 and have a 15 win improvment) We weren't going to win a title this year or even next year

You'd rather we go with AD+One knee noel+a bunch of ragtags and suck for another 2 years and bank on that panning out down the road?

We already basically blew things up in 2011 post CP3.
