Somewhere in between here and there.

@ilikethisteam11 Not clear why our seeding matters. Roster isn’t good enough to win a playoff series.

@jespvg Not having a PG isn’t a what-would-you-do-right-now question. It’s been an obvious need since the Franz/Paolo era began that Welt doesn’t see as an issue.

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@newmanusps1313 @Sam_Vecenie Hopefully part of the answer is don’t let the same guy try to build yet again.

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@OMagicDaily @BriggsTheGreat So wild to keep defending this FO. That Hawks team that is about to pass us in the standings basically threw that team together in 2 months. Our guy has been at this for almost 9 years.

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@ilikethisteam11 Our 30m+ starting PG should play a pretty good game occasionally?

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@Ceruti Never thought I’d say it’s a shame we’re wasting this Bane season

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@Lions0607 @SixthManShow Had the same thought. When exactly has it been fun in the last 15 years or so? Fanbase got sold on a decade of losing being needed.

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@SixthManShow When you spend a decade+ instilling zero expectations in a franchise (and often actively making the team bad on purpose) it’s hard to reverse.

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@HeerJeet Great list really. Boogie Nights that low is tragedy m.

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@OMagicGuru Counterpoint, you 40M a year shooting guard that you traded 4 1st round picks for should be able to create his own shot here and there

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@SixthManShow Not having a point guard year after year will do that.

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@ilikethisteam11 @otowncharles When you put it that way though it sounds pretty dumb.

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@OMagicDaily @JoeDueces2 It’s ok to say our coach blew it. Even he said it.

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@ilikethisteam11 The real question is what was our FO expecting.

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@ilikethisteam11 Inevitably these teams are just better without Franz/Suggs + our depth. We have rookies and d league guys playing heavy minutes/out of position.

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@ilikethisteam11 I think the only real concern continues to be good teams put pressure on our backcourt in big games and they (predictably, because we don’t have a natural PG) don’t respond well.

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@OMagicDaily Volume is everything with 3 point shooters though. And that’s what we needed. He’s only taken 4 or 5 and making 1 or 2 a game (last 4 years). That’s useful utility as a role player but not elite by any means.

[The Zissou @TheLongSunset]

@OMagicDaily Start of this season aside even, he’s still by no means one of the best in the league.
