Regardless of this Year’s Results, Keep the Core Together

Okay been seeing even some of our more sane posters turning against our roster, even considering trading BI if we end up missing the playoffs/playin this year.
Fully agree the team is not playing at the level it needs to be. Ingram can score at will but is not giving full effort defensively nor getting teammates involved at the level he used to be. Herb, Naji and Jose and Tre aren’t contributing consistently enough on offense to carry their load…problems with rim protection…
Personally, even with the poor play I don’t think it would be time to blow it up if we missed the playoffs. We all understand the potential of a Zion, BI, CJ Big 3. That can be a title contender. Tre, Herb, and Jose are all in their SECOND year. Dyson is a rookie and Naji’s in his 3rd. All of them are not gonna magically turn into pumpkins. They will all keep improving.
BI I truly believe is going to up his level of play as a facilitator down the stretch. I believe it because he has to.
Having a team in the mix was really all we wanted through all the putrid years. We finally got it and we’re talking about trading our best player who loves being here. Some changes at center and grabbing another shooter/facilitator might be the only moves we need. We still got a young team with a young coach and a young superstar who are going through growing pains.
Let’s see what the sons got down the stretch, I’m behind these boys

So who’s a part of “the Core” because you listed 70% of the roster

Core in this case being BI, Zion and CJ.
Edit: main point being a massive overhaul would be shortsighted this off-season because of internal growth.

At this point I’m fine with moving on from any of those 3 depending on the return

I’m done waiting for zion to be back. Trade him while he still has value, he’ll be out of the league in 5 years. He’ll get injured again next year and then he’ll be viewed as one of the worst contracts in the league

We need to upgrade one of Naji and Jose into a shooter. Not saying we need to get rid of them, but we need to push at least one of them further down on the depth chart.

Not true.

People here didn't want to give up Trey for Bridges
I mean, Bridges is like best case scenario for TM3s development

Im okay with griff going nuclear and blowing it up. I don’t think he will but I’d be fine with it. Running it back with no changes would be a problem tho

If we go nuclear, it’s because Griff screwed the pouch. In that case, he should be Gadaffi’d (figuratively of course)

BI and CJ need to be traded

I wish we had Presti
Give him the max

Why trade CJ or BI when Zion is the one ALWAYS hurt. I don’t see how you can depend on Zion being a core player when he never plays half a season.

Everyone on this pathetic team should be available to trade. Need a major shakeup either in the roster or coaching staff.

While past performance is not always indicative of future results, enough data exists that you can't make that claim with ANY certainty
