@80 only if you assume that he’s done developing at age 22. For me, it’s an open question.

Why are we still talking about KP as if he is a franchise player? He’s one of my favorite players all-time in orange and blue, but there comes a time when an apple is just an apple, and will never become a full course meal. I mean, he’s a second/third violin and that’s great. But he can’t be *the* cornerstone.

Perry does not have a record that inspires a lot of confidence. The fact that he was hired by Mills is a check mark in the negative column. But he won the Melo deal. That was a decent accomplishment given there were only few teams to work with. He also didn’t do a bad job picking up some cheap pieces to fill out the team like Beasley, Burke, and Jack. I’m willing to give him some time before I start yapping.

I was just thinking about the Cavs. I think I can honestly say I would rather be in our position than theirs. They are old, horrid on defense, not good enough to seriously contend anymore, and a long way away from rebuilding. I’m not even sure they can make a trade that gives them a serious chance.

Thomas is terrific on offense but terrible on defense.
Shumpert is terrible.
JR Smith is terrible.
Love is a good all around player, but he’s not a defender.
Wade, Rose, Calderon, Frye, and Korver are all washed.
Tristan Thompson is not the same player he was.
I guess Jeff Green is having a decent year, but come on.
OK, I like Crowder as a role player but even he’s not having as good a year as in Boston.

They should probably tank and trade Lebron. lol

Perry wasn’t completely in charge at his last two jobs so its hard to judge him. He’s competent which is a high bar for us but not sure he can put together a true title contender.

Isn’t someone gonna say the Thunder have figured it out (for the 20th time)?

Yeah, the last 2 teams Perry worked for are pretty garbage right now in Orlando and Sacramento, he didn’t exactly leave them in great shape. I have very little faith he really knows what he’s doing and we all know Mills has no clue what he’s doing. Amazing that immediately following the most successful season in over a decade Dolan undermined then got rid of the GM and replaced him with Mills and it’s been all downhill from there. It’s pretty bad when I long for the days of Grunwald/Woodson.

Orlando and the Kings don’t make me super optimistic

I have more faith in Perry’s ability to trade fairly than draft well. As Thomas showed, those are two completely different things.

I see no reason to not believe in Scott Perry so far. Let’s let him get passed a trade deadline, an NBA draft, and a free agency period before we decide he’s a bum.

I don’t know why KOQ and Lee aren’t on the Cavs yet.
