The front office is slowly breaking up the family. They shipped out Russell first. Then you had rumors of them trading Clarkson and Randle. And now they talking about moving Nance :mjcry:.

I really am losing faith in Pelinka and the front office in general. Outside of finding good players late in the draft I hate this pursuit of big name free agents. To me this ain't 2011. Just signing a couple big name free agents ain't going to get it done when you have a team as talented as GS who has two MVP candidates, two other all star caliber players, and have been together for years now. I think you need to establish a foundation first and then sign a big free agent to put you over the top. Completely stripping the team down and adding Lebron and whoever else just isn't smart IMO because your team will have no depth and no chemistry.

IMO Magic and Pelinka ain't really did nothing so far. As far as the draft picks I give those props to Jesse Buss, Ryan West, and the rest of the scouting department. We been on this 2 Max free agent thing for the past few years and it apparently ain't working. Wasted time chasing dudes like Melo an LMA an couldn't even get a meeting with Bron but all of that is suppose to change because Magic is in charge now?

He seems like he can shoot but unless we going really small Idk who's minutes he supposed to be taking
I'm pissed the Clipps let him go. Not a star of course but he was outplaying Wes Johnson, Sam Dekker, Thronwell, etc. He's the 3 & D type we've needed for the past six years or so.Think Robert Covington type player.. Don't know how he fits in you guys plans or rotations tho
