Although we got Shaq as FA we have gotten most of our marquee players via trade or draft. Kobe, Magic, Worthy, Kareem, West, Wilt, Gasol ect.
So this is the way to go. |
An excellent point. We've signed key role players in the past, but game changers have been acquired a variety of ways. |

The silver lining is it wasn't a bad FA and our last 3 drafts have been great...and we have a coach

If we had landed a marquee all star or all star level FAs (think something like DRoz/Hassan), the expectations for a rookie coach would be immense. There would be no latitude to miss the playoffs or incrementally improve the young core. Of course, having talent is always a great thing in the NBA, but given our circumstances.
This is also a reason why I'm against trading for WB. His supernova ways may prove to be too challenging for a rookie coach. Let Luke breath a bit. Allow him to develop a culture and an ecosystem first. Trying to cheat the process will only end up hurting Luke, or even chasing someone away like WB if he doesn't like what's being brewed up.
I know this is really seeing it from a glass is half full perspective (as opposed to my glass is half empty view the past few seasons), but I genuinely believe we are up to something really nice. Not having such lofty expectations may prove beneficial for the team overall, assuming that Jim/Mitch aren't on the "Deadline." If the whole team can just "trust the process" for one more year, I think the franchise will be in a position to finally make that pivot towards the playoffs again. |
I couldn't agree more. I'm willing to be patient with the core and Luke. I wanted this last year but watching Scott bullheadedly break the spirit of the younger players was disheartening but to be honest, he doesn't know modern hoops and can't teach worth a damn. Having Luke IMHO will be refreshing beyond belief. There will be growing pains as these youngsters grow into their bodies and their games and I accept that!
