Top 4
Only thing they can do in-season is trade Ivey for a shooter. Even though they aren’t shooters Im not trading Ausar or Duran. 2 and 4 have to be shooters. Stewart is a backup big

No rotation with this roster will work. Monty isn’t a great coach but the problem is the roster. You get Boggy back you get your shooter but he still can’t defend and he is only getting older. If he still has something innthe tank he needs to be traded ASAP

Would love Jerami Grant back. Kuzma or Cam Johnson would have been nice.

Lavine for Ivey still makes all the sense in the world to me. For both teams

i'll give you gary trent and thad young

honestly have you taken a look at their roster?

The only guy who dressed today older than 25 is isaiah livers who is 25 and alec burks 32

This team needs a few older vets in the worst way, a thad young, a garrett temple :heh:

Its not just that though. None of their high draft picks compliment each other. The only one of their players with any actual skill level and nuance to basketball is being hampered heavily by the other guys who just do role player shyt at a middling level.

Yeah I’ve finally come around on that too. Love my guy but he ain’t it.

You should be able to at minimum be a AAU run up and down the floor squad with Cade Ivey ausar and duren and win 20 games off that alone.

This is wild. I need something to happen.
Been said that about Stew. However None of that will work without a true point guard/floor general. I have no idea what system Monty is trying to run now. Cade isn't it as a primary ball handler and neither is Ivey. At least before recent changes they were competitive. Cats get what they wanted and now it's nothing but blowouts and matador defense :mjlol:

started looking at draft information :sadcam:
Why couldn’t Cooper Flagg or Boozer be a year older?

Isiah Collier only player that could be considered a top pick in a typical draft. But he’s another PG

Alex Sarr getting Nic Claxton comparison

Holland looks like a poor mans Ausar

Hopefully someone in college emerges like Brandon Miller or Jabari Smith last couple years

I had a nightmare that it was between an Andrew Wiggins deal and a Ben Simmons deal. Yikes

Burks declined from last year too, I don’t even see him in a playoff team rotation after the buyouts

I have no idea what point he wanna prove

the team just isnt good. you switch someone out in the lineup, that wont change anything over the course of the game

they are what they are.
