What’s wild to me is there’s virtually no reasonable excuse as to why we shouldn’t be a 6/7 seed even with this meh at best roster.
The amount of MASSIVE leads blown has little to do with our roster makeup imo. We were able to build a double digit lead late in the fourth plenty of times, only to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Our flawed roster is a reason we aren’t a 4/5 seed or even better.
Something else is causing us to blow lead after lead in situations that even bad nba teams have no problem coming out victorious.

Really? You don't think that our problems closing games has anything to do with the fact that our only dependable scorers are young players who haven't learned how to close?

If we were losing tight games all the time this would make more sense. But it’s so much worse than that.
We lose games where we are up by double digits with less than 200 seconds left and the ball. It’s expected this roster will have a few meltdowns in a tight game against more experienced teams. We blow big leads against similarly inexperienced teams with worse records.

Bledsoe supposedly has been a great mentor to the younger guards on the team. That narrative isn't new.
Yeah that can be a narrative and I'm not buying it at all.
Even Bled said all the right shite, which I kind of doubt, considering he seems like a total dumbass, his actions negate it all.
Why would a young guy listen to a vet who half asses it every game?

Like Rajon Rondo?
I can’t stand Bled being on this roster, but there is no reason to doubt multiple sources all echoing the same thing. Kira in particular has supposedly embraced a mentorship from Bled due to their Alabama connections. Doesn’t mean you don’t get rid of him first chance.

Great bump
Here was my take at the time. All those concerns turned out to be some of our biggest issues that set us back.
I could stomach Bledsoe coming over(not really lol) because the salaries had to matchup but too add Adams AND give him the extension, woof.
This is super unlikely but the only way we get anything redeemable from those 2 contracts is if they're used to match salaries on a stud coming back.

Basically, that's all the questions I had and wondered why we gave up a 1st and thus ended free agency for us for the offseason.

Didn't need Lowe to point this out.
