    Yep i knew it. Told my brother when the season ended. That migut have been the one that got away. I had a feeling gsw would get better cause their roster was really bad after the starters. Zaza mcgee alot of wasted roster spot. N i knew we wasnt gonna have all those good wing defenders anymore. Damn. If only we got melo last year. I was sure we waa gonna win the chip but injury cp3.showes up at the worst time im depressed now

    I wasn't really too panicked about the offseason until right now.

    We lost Luc and Ariza and we seem dead set on adding Melo. I don't see how this team is even decent defensively much less great. Unless Morey has some trade lined up, this team defense looks terrifying.

    Play us a tune Plowman. Tell us Rubio is coming please so I can close my eyes and pretend this team doesn't appear to be being ran into the ground. None of these moves feel like Morey decisions.

    Play me a song that alludes to the fact that Otto Porter Jr. is coming. @steddinotayto

    This offseason sucks so far. Luc should have been our MLE, with Melo being a vet min.

    I said the same thing. We had such an old team and soo many contracts up. Our only real shot to replace Ariza was Lebron and he didn’t even give us a chance. Decided to go to LA and retire.

    Now with Luc gone I would seriously try to trade Harden to Boston.
    CP3 to LA.
    Capela to wherever.
    Gordon for picks.
    Tucker for picks.

    Cuz we ain’t beating the Warriors with Boogie. I can see us anywhere from second in the West to not even making the playoffs.

    Yuck..

    Can’t really say that. This team as constructed has to prove they are better or the same as last years team

    We will upgrade the SF position, beyond Melo. It might not be Otto Porter, it might not be Bazemore. But Luc will be replaced.

    Explain to me how we beat Golden State next year? Whos playing the switching defense? How do we stop Boogie if he’s healthy? Who’s even starting at SF? We are lacking in the most important position in the NBA.

    I really don’t know why any team is even trying right now. No one besides us could even win more than 1 game against Golden State last year. They just signed best center in the league for nothing. Id be trying to trade all my best players to Boston cuz they have soo many assets. That way at least it can be a 2 team league next year.

    And we can just tank and rebuild for 5 years when KD and Curry are old and have a dynasty.

    If I could get Kuzma or Ingram and some picks for CP. And Tatum or Brown and the Kings pick next year from Boston for Harden. I’m happy. Plus a first for PJ, first for Gordon, First for Capela and just trust the process. Looking at our team now what assests do we even have.

    I hate that the refs robbed us of our championship last year. Everything played out soo perfectly for us and we got royally screwed.

    Second round exit, here we come!

    This is a Doc Rivers offseason, not a Daryl Morey offseason.

    Three types of fans right now:

    1) The fan who is freaking out because they love to be miserable at any opportunity.
    2) The fan who is freaking out because they know basketball and realize how damaging the offseason has been so far.
    3) The fan who is in denial.
