Reasons
- hires a coach with zero nba coaching experience. This to me is a signal for a full rebuild
- but he doesnt do that. Keeps Rondo, Bass, Green. If we trade all of these guys we def get a top 3 or 4 pick
- cant find a way to trade wallace, humphries, bogans
- lets everyone know that Rondo is here to stay for the long run
- then drafts Smart (and Young) instead of addressing some serious needs upfront (like having one flat tire)
- doesnt pickup Asik, Afflalo, Louis Williams, Lucas Nogueira (all that would of cost a fair price to obtain)
- cant bring in any top undrafted players to the SL squad.
- the 76ers at least are going about their rebuild in a "pure" fashion.
Does Danny even have a plan?? I find him always wanting to chase the ideals, pack on the assets(usually crowded at the same area) but lacks vision. Maybe mcdanough was the real brains when he was still here.
I can handle and be patient during a rebuild. But cant tolerate mess.
Anyone else frustrated?
-Stevens did a pretty good job first year in. People forget he had to learn and coach at the same time. He brought a style of play that was nice to watch when things were clicking. Guys bought in. Other players and coach's seem to have respect for him. How many losses were blow outs compared to the last year of KG and PP with Doc? Or even seasons before that? Stevens is fine.
-Rondo not going to fetch much with an ACL injury, and didn't have enough time before deadline to show he could play again. Bass and Green were getting offers of pennies on the dollar, because teams knew DA was tanking. They are more valuable now than at deadline. If we don't want Wallaces contract, who else would? Humps not an easy contract to move, plus he was good with the young guys. Bogans didn't make or break the team. His contract is worth more now in a trade than last year.
-Saying Rondo is here for the long term is to get teams that would be interested to offer more. You say a guy is up for grabs no one will offer us anything good. Make him unavailable some one will offer a nice package.
Asik could not be had with the TE because we can't use it yet. Afflalo makes no sense unless we are going to contend, better off not having him if we are tanking again. Louis Williams, Lucas Nogueira not worth trading right off the bat, because there could be other trades to be had that would be better.
Might not be his concern right now with SL. He might have things in the works that undrafted guys just make no sense. Plus he doesn't have to bring them in to sign, he can see them on other teams and decided if he needs to bring some one in. He may not as of right now, so why bother.
76ers suck. They will for the next 5 years easy unless they do some major dancing. MCW is okay, rookie of the year in a bad draft. KO was one of the better rookies at pick 13. Noel has only played 2 or 3 SL games, who knows if his knees will hold up. Two ACL's isnt' a good sign. Embiid is the same. Now if they can stay healthy, great! But by the time the 76ers have a team together they will be looking for extensions. And if things aren't going well, maybe heading out of town.
What did you expect in a rebuild? There will always be a mess in the beginning. Your acting like we've been at this for 3 or 5 years. Year one man. If the Love deal (which I know you love
) falls threw than its time to ship some guys like Green and Rondo out.
I'll be frustrated by year 4 if we are in same position. But I can get threw one more season of sucking and getting rid of contracts by either trade or letting them run out if nothing good can come out of them.
