@Free_Thinking1 I’ve wanted to trade for AD when he was teamed up with Cousins. His defense with Sarr is going to be something special. Guards will have an easier time playing dee because of it. I’m good with AD staying provided we can sign our draft picks for the 2030’s.
@Free_Thinking1 2026-27 by a country mile. Don’t forget, we’re still in the rebuilding stage. We won’t be a serious team until at least 3 more years. Any wins we get this year is just gravy, even if we were to go deep in the playoffs.
@Free_Thinking1@GPthePoet We’re not winning games in the playoffs until AJ gets some years in. Our real run looks like it’ll be the whole decade of 2030. Next 3 years will be pure development for the players under 22. We’re pretty much done rebuilding the team but still in rebuild mode.
@MattModderno Depends who they start at PG. Assuming it’s Trae, yep… probably.
If we play a big defensive lineup sometime, then we should be a top defensive team in the league.
@VintageHoops Porter was the correct pick. We messed up and didn’t resign him after his 3rd year. After his 4th year a couple bad teams offered him crazy money so we lost him. He could have been a solid role-player had we not had to overpay him to keep him. Then he got hurt w/ that contract.
@Domo8186 Dawkins is on fire. He got everyone I’ve been screaming for: my 3&D in Bilal, 3pt SG or 6th man shooter in Tre, a pass first-not score-first PG in Trae, an actual shot blocker in Sarr, and I’ve wanted AD since he was playing w/ Boogie. I couldn’t be happier. It’s like a dream.
