We are the 10th seed and you’re talking about a championship
We have like 3 people on the team that should stay and maybe a 4th in DJ. We are a long way from a championship.
Our young players have no chemistry together bc they’ve never played together. Learning in Austin doesn’t really help defensive rotations in the NBA bc the players are much faster. But if Pop gave the young players actual minutes together, didn’t completely ruin Dejounte Murray, and structured the offense to the strengths of his young players players instead of having them play slow iso ball, we could actually have made a run for home court. How can a team with Lonnie, DJ, White, and KJ be 14th in fast break points? Makes no sense.
We don’t have a true franchise player yet so we can’t be the 90s suns or current Rockets. But we can be the Van Exel Lakers. Or we just tank and hope for a generational pick. But what Pop did was stupid and I’m not so sure he didn’t ruin Dejounte Murray.
