lol, ok.... didn't expect ya to feel that
**** but it da truth nonetheless
[Sigh]
We were looking at some #2s for Cam.
* We got back a rotation player who has a deep bond with our Bell Cow and fits the coach's system/culture.
* We still have the Dallas #1 pick, and God forbid, the Wizards stay healthy and make the play-in, that's another #1 pick. And going forward, we have all out own #1 picks, and beside the Wiz, protected #1s from Detroit and Milwaukee.
* Number One picks? Overlooking Rose & Fournier, we have eleven roster spots pretty much locked up. We potentially have Jeffries and Keels in Westchaster. We have Jokubaitis on ice in Madrid. This trade was a roll of the dice on us as a playoff team.
* Forunier & Rose remain as dependable in case of fire break glass option, and are certainly dealable come summer time.
* We maxed out value for Reddish and bench jockeys, and Dawg is still howling at the moon over fucking Donovan Mitchell. Yikes
* Dawg is yawning at Leon? Hey, dude. Leon moved from Elfrid and Scored us JALEN, who had a ripple effect on Julius, Grimes and IQ...RJ still figuring it out. Leon did NOT TAKE THE BAIT with either Danny Or Masai. We did not go all in on the pursuit of a "superstar mirage" shiny object such as Lavine or OG. We have a young developing core, ample draft assets. And, AGAIN, we scored a solid rotational player for spare parts who fits Thibs' System, can do all of that boring, awww, poor Dawg's dick ain't hard stuff like defend, facilitate, rebound and do all manner of positive things on offense.
Back in Octboer he lit up the Knicks for 10 points and 19 rebounds. * SighMoan Bowl-a-Bar is still calling for Thibs head, even though we have a winning record, and are incrementally getting better, and making a playoff run.
We all have issues with Thibs, but it is interesting that his players are ALL VERY COMMITTED AND LOYAL. And for someone who doesn't play youth, Thibs's system has proven nurturing to the likes of IQ, Deuce, Grimes, Sims, Mitchell, Isaiah and dare we suggest, RJ and Obi. And both Jalen and Julius have dramatically upped their games and leadership. It's called PROGRESS, guys. Slow, grinding, incremental.
But y'all are yawning?
BE still my HEART.
