re: Jrue, Tatum, and Randle

I don't understand why so many are ready & willing to spend cap space this summer. That's what we did with AD and it left us lacking for ways to improve the roster. We have one of the best guards in the league in Jrue and potentially will have one of best up-and-coming SF's in the NBA in Jayson Tatum and a chance to build a squad around them. And the way some of yall want to do that is by signing FAs this summer like Vucevic or giving Diallo $4 mil/yr? I don't get it.
I'm not trying to be a jerk but I don't want this rebuild put on fast-forward. That's what messed us up with building around AD. I'd rather accumulate things we've never had: assets. Like acquiring bad contracts for picks. Or signing a good player to a short term deal so that we can trade him for a young player.
Because imo some of the rosters I'm seeing gets us to the 7th or 6th seed at best and that's where we cap out.
I think we try to not to repeat the mistakes of the past. Accumulate as much as we can a la the Brooklyn Nets model that way we don't waste another chance to build a contender around a young, budding talent

I completely agree. Hopefully the new GM will have a very cool seat to sit on and will have the freedom to be patient with the build. They need to add capable players to the mix without overpaying in either money or years until the core is settled.

It'll be a little different because they'll likely have Memphis pick in 2020 and whatever picks in this years draft
Like I said in another thread they could probably easily trade 9-10 to a team that falls in love wth a guy and gain future assets
I'm not on board with signing vucevic or a middleton as that's unwise. I'm fine with signing Randle to 3/40-45 signing a shooter and bench big and calling it a day. Moving hill(possibly Moore too) gives them a ton of space even with the above move
