Schlenk doing work!

Love the trade...one thing people gotta remember is Dedmond had a VOICE in the locker room last year. The young guys loved playing with him. You bring him back and add Capella, and now you also have a defensive voice on the floor. That's a SOLID foundation at the 5 moving forward and both should be able to help Bruno come along as he may now get some looks at PF.

GREAT moves.

Another underrated factor is you get Collins back permanently at the 4 just as he's getting it going big time.

Teague/Goodwin looks like a solid foundation at the backup PG spot.

All of a sudden, these last 30 or so games should be VERY fun.

We got guards, wings, big men...now all we need are some W's.

Only thing left now with all that cap in the summer is joe harris type shooter and maybe a cheap playmaker. We in good shape fellas

We can do whatever we want with the top 5 pick this draft. Package it for an upgrade or just take BPA

Hmmm

I was going to ask about the sense of the Demond deal but y'all seem good with it.

I'm going to miss Jabari gunning

The Dedmon deal is Schlenk admitting he made a mistake (just like when he traded Omari after his rookie year). Dedmon should’ve never been allowed to leave. It also tells you the decision to go after Jabari was a mistake as well. So I know everybody is happy about the Capela & Dedmon moves (I am too to a certain extent) but the decisions are interesting based on how this roster was built for this season and now Schlenk doubling down on what has clearly been our biggest weakness

Long term it takes James Wiseman off the board and makes Ant Man the likely target so I agree that these are good moves but roster construction under Schlenk has been a question mark. I’ll be interested to see how we play down the stretch with these moves and if being GS East is still our goal

I also heard that there’s been a bit of tension behind the scenes with what Schlenk wants (slow, methodical rebuild) vs what Ressler wants and he wants to win now. I wonder how much that inspired these moves

Yo anybody got season tickets? Thinking about getting some for section 210 row A. shyt is the best section for value to me cause it’s center court and row A has nothing in front of it. Better than plenty of 100 level seats.

shyt would come out to around $25 per game. These tickets go from like $40-$60 for regular games and higher for the Lakers type teams from what I see seen buying tickets on the secondary market.

I’m thinking I could scoop the season tickets, sell the tickets to like half the games and break even, and get to se like 20 games for free. Never had season tickets so I’m looking for a little feedback

I do. I think a few others do as well. I try to go to most games. Work or holidays/vacations cause me to miss a few. You can sell the big ticket games for like 2-4+ face value. The regular games can be hard to sell. Usually get face value. Some bad teams are less than face. Part of my problem is I wait til last minute (if work issues pop up)

Thanks for the insight. Yeah I’m getting them to go to games, but I’ll miss some when I’m traveling. The arena is only a 10 minute walk from me so I don’t have to worry about parking or traffic. That convenience is huge. I would definitely sell all the parking passes if they came with the season tickets. Appreciate the feedback. I will let you know if I got them next week after I get the tour and shyt

you think they should have kept Spelman?

I agree. Dedmon should have never been allowed to leave. That was the first mistake and a big one. But at the same time it's hindsight as we thought we would get a lot more from Len.

I get why they let Omari go, dude was not being a professional and some times you have to cut ties. That's not a issue for me.

Now the other mistake was roster construction in terms of vets brought in...those dudes were awful and brought nothing to the floor or chemistry in the locker room. Big mistake by TS here and we started to hear about the dissention in the locker room in late December.

As far as TS vs Ressler, as much as we all like Trae, I don't think none of us imagined he would take the leap he took this year (All-star stater, avg 30 and 10). That in itself pushed the timeline foward and put a bright light on the offseason moves which is why TS is basically reconstructing the roster now vs this summer.

Seeing what Drummond got traded for...

 

[#1 pick]

Been a while since I been bacc.

Love the Capela move. Gives us a top 10 NBA center who's elite at our style of Basketball which is PnR heavy/switch-heavy style at a high pace.
Dedmon is back. Dedmon was critical to execution and man did we miss his ass. His loss felt like losing Carroll with Bud's Hawks. Glad he's back.
Skal was having a good season till he got hurt for the Blazers, surprised they let him go like that @Serious
Glad Goodwin will get his contract.

We should be a much better team now:
Ice Trae/Touch Me/Good Win
Red Velvet/Killa Cam/Teddy Grahams
D'Andre The Hunter/Pierre With the Drip/Killa
J Bop/Skal The Haitian Prince/VC/Big Bruno
Flex Capela/Deadman/Big Bruno/D. Jones

TS and Ressler on the same page, as you said, Trae pushed the process up a year. He became one of the best players in the NBA.

Skal is a good pick up for yall.

Do yall still have bumbry?
