(To be clear, I’m just fricking around here. I do not think for a second we will go into the season with this roster)

Thats the same team, minus Rondo + Randle and Payton, that swept the 3rd seed.

What are you talking about?

He'll certainly play starter minutes so it doesn't really matter.

Honestly, with the way the league is setup right now, I wouldn’t waste my time trying to trade Moore, Diallo, Jackson, Niko, future 1st’s, etc for a solid wing. This is Golden State’s league for the next 3 years. Pels just need to remain as flexible as possible and try to peak in 3 or 4 years. Yeah we could very well pull a trade that takes Pels from top 10 team to top 5-6, but what is the point right now?

Losing Boogie like this crushed my soul. All Dell needed was a day or two to create space to sign and trade Boogie to Lakers or Wizards for a nice wing and we could’ve had an extremely complete, well balanced team that had the ability to push the Rockets for 2nd in the West.

We are going to lead the league in pace. The additions of Randle and Elfrid will have us playing even faster ham last year.

Still think this is a playoff team. Can progress off next offseason

To me Randle is going to be a borderline allstar player next season. averaged 20/10 the second half of the season.

Yeah, better than maxing out boogie, but it hurts to lose him for nothing especially to golden fricking state.

Honestly, I'm glad we didn't put all eggs in Boogies basket. I am very skeptical he comes back to 75% of what he was. He will never be the same, though.

Regardless, peak Boogers was not a perfect fit for this roster and/or offense. Running a pace and space also requires defensive hustle, which Boogers often ignores.

Niko is the wild card that kind of changed our needs. He may not be as talented as Boogers, but he plays into the system and doesn't give away 5 defensive possessions per game. Losing Boogers allows us to build a more balanced roster around our 2 legit Alphas.

I'm more concerned that we have no way to do anything else.
