This team doesn’t draft well. I get that they’ll always be strapped due to their pick situation but it doesn’t stop other teams from occasionally finding diamonds in the rough. Since 2019 the only worthwhile pick they’ve had was Terrence Mann and let’s be honest he should be further along than he is.

Think he's shown some flashes but his ceiling is probably great value Lou will but he has too much of an ego for that role.

Lou NEVER struggled to get his shot off like this dude does. How are you supposed to be a quick shifty guard that gets locked up by the other team’s third string? I’ve seen it happen multiple timed

He wants a bigger role tho and that's the problem. I like Russ but he was awful in the playoffs against the Mavs. It's gotta be Bones turn with the backup pg spot next season.
Bones sucks :mjlol:
If you relying on that guy for anything you're in trouble
Nuggets couldn't wait to dump his ass on their way to a title run

I'm not even mad at PG. Do you want to be the guy years later after the NBA contracts stop coming in the mail knowing that you passed up on $50 million? This is just part of the path we signed up for with this sh*t. Kawhi didn't want to sign outright and play with SGA and demanded a co star at any and all cost and so here we are. Then a bubble choke and four missed post seasons from option #1 and here we are. PG is a headcase half the time with a subpar post season acumen but that's what we signed up for. No player development, bad drafting, injuries, trades, supreme vet privilege, tryouts, experiments, chokes, chasing washed stars, etc. Why was this latest instance supposed to go smooth and perfect all of a sudden? This is the sh*t we've been going though since day one with 213!

It was a shot they had to take with PG and Kawhi. Got further than we've ever been with them. It didn't work for a number of reasons. I used to watch fukking Keith Closs. Disappointed but not mad.

I’ll always believe if they secured that WCF 21 game 2 win then that team goes to The Finals without Kawhi

At that point the tenure would be a disappointment in totality but everyone would have always had to say…

“Well at least they made The Finals”

They're on their Bengals shyt with Jones, Primo, and now Porter.

Understand Harden deal. Happy about the DJJ deal.
Primo is gone and they supposed to resign Kai Jones. I know we gotta take swings on reclamation projects but damn. He's hella talented, but a loose cannon to the highest degree. I guess we're down to take another PR hit. DJJ is a good pickup. That's PG level defense, we'll just need a couple other players to pick up the scoring slack.

-Team put out a statement about PG leaving before he signed his new deal. That's nuts :patrice:And I knew they weren't f*ckin with Russ next season even though he exercised his option.

It was damn near a full time job in itself with Kawhi out all the time on top of PG's subpar performances. I'm happy he's in Philly. :wow:
