Eh, at this point just ride it out to summer. We suck. Brad doesn't have a grip on this team, and the roster is full of holes and mismatched parts on top of being young. This summer:
- Work a buyout with Brad so he can go back to Indiana to coach. He's just not what we need for these young guys to keep them in line. They already don't respect him and he hasn't instilled any kind of discipline in him.
- Build the team out around your main three of Tatum, Brown, and Timelord to where the rest of your team complements your main guys. If you can keep Smart, PP, Nesmith, and Theis, do it, but they're ultimately trade-bait if needed to upgrade the roster.
- Use the TPE to bring in another good-sized complementary starting piece.
- Try to offload Kemba.
- Get more shooters.
- Fortify the bench.
Yeah falling into this boat quickly, but I think you have to give Brad at least one more year. He has been competitive most years, and honestly this roster is such a train wreck that it’s hard to 100% gauge him based on this.
I’m actually closer to wanting DA gone. I understand that some things didn’t work out (i.e Kyrie, Hayward injury, etc.) but he just hasn’t built a competitive team this year and it’s inexcusable. Staying pat at the deadline last year was too; we were one piece away from the finals, and he follows that up with this.
I don’t want him to make a move for the sake of it but if he doesn’t at least add some competent rotational players at the deadline/scour the buyout market Id be ready to hand the reigns to Zarren.
To his credit though at least he’ll get on the radio tomorrow and take a beating from Toucher and Rich, got to give him credit there.
