Props to you. There was a time when you posted this I thought you were on crack, tbh. Plus I gave PATFO unjustifiable credit for how last years draftees would pan out. It's now pretty clear that Dallas and Memphis will continue to own us, and have a brighter near future, and will be challenging for LOBs for maybe the next 5 years or longer given they keep or add to their current rosters. Houston and OKC have a stockpile of not only young players with high ceilings but most importantly a load of draft picks that are likely to make them a huge pain in the ass in the very near future. OKC was already beating us before adding two top 12 picks this year, with more to come.
So, again, congrats to you for seeing that when some or even most of us were thinking we were looking good with a Murray, White, McDermott, Johnson, Poeltl lineup with Richardson, Jones, Vassell, Collins, Primo, and Walker as the primary backups. Now, at best, I'm only marginally excited about the future development of Murray, Johnson, Vassell, Primo, Jones, and *maybe* Langford. Thinking Poeltl and Walker will price themselves out of our cap situation.
So it comes down to what we get in this year's draft and front office moves if any glimmer of hope can still be there as the others clearly are ahead or passing us.
