Ha, using Lebron James to refute other situations is almost always a pseudo-strawman…the rules just don’t apply to him, but well-played.

he’s a top 30 player, an all-star and next year we should be in a win-now mode.

Did someone copy & paste this from February 2011?

I agree that next offseason is too early in our win curve to be pursuing a max free agent. With very rare exceptions it’s just not a good idea until you have a cheap 45+ win core.

“NO THANKS! Lakers refuse to sign LeBron James, because it’s too early in their win curve to pursue a max free agent. GM says try again when we win 10 more games.”

32 wins
They ARE more athletic.
But they don’t know how to win.
I like that both back court positions have handle and I think Frank will have a very good year at the deuce.
Canter is going to do what he does, and if he plays some defense, we’ll be fortunate.
If they play tough defense, maybe they get to 36 wins.

KP will take most of the season to get his legs back. I hope he comes back with a great shot. Most guys who hurt their knees come back better shooters. He was already solid, but he should shoot even better.

But a total rebuilding year. I want to see all the young guys playing lots and lots of minutes.

It’s the first year since the pre-Amare days that I can get totally behind a bunch of young kids finding their way. I think there is more talent than a lot will credit, but they are still very, very raw and that will lose them a ton of games. Even KP is generally still inexperienced.
But I’m excited to see them learn together.

Is this the first year this board is 95%+ in agreement that we won’t reach 30 wins?

Whenever I mention the strategy and try to make sense of it it’s just because I’ve resigned myself to the fact that it’s obviously what this group wants to do.

22-60, this team is bad. The only thing I’m looking forward to this year is to see if Ntilikina has learned to hit an open jumper.

I mean, what’s wrong with a little premeditated murder? Who really cares? What happens in Constantinople stays in Constantinople.
