You just said that Langford, Rob Williams, Tristan Thompson and Marcus Smart are "gone." That's lack of excitement? It's also a disturbing assessment of our roster IMO. Romeo and Langford both showed sufficient promise end of season and short play off run. Especially Romeo.
In terms of
adding talent, what I've predicted here (call it pessimistic, I won't argue) is certainly not exciting.
I think Rob has been exciting -- when he's been able to play. He hasn't been able to stay healthy or stay on the floor for more than 18-20 minutes even when he's healthy. That's an issue, and I think it may make more sense for the team to sell on his potential now rather than face the dilemma of having to pay him next year.
Romeo has shown some flashes, but that's about it. He's such a raw player offensively despite being two years into his career. I know he's still young and he's had injuries, but I just think that Brad is going to want to reshape the supporting cast to be more experienced and polished. They don't have time for major projects anymore. It's time to put grown up professional players around Jayson and Jaylen.
If Romeo has any value as a trade chip now while he still has two years left on his rookie deal, it would make a lot of sense for the team to include him in a trade as a sweetener to either move salary or bring back more established players.
