Are you satisfied with the offseason (so far)

As one of the boards resident negative nancy´s. I am more hopeful than usually around this time of the year. In the end results matter but there has been a noticable change of approach and I cannot ignore that as far as creativity and asset management goes they did exactly what many of us have been asking for since what feels like forever.
As far as Lively goes. I wasn´t the biggest fan pre draft and probably wouldn´t have taken him at 12 but I don´t think it was as big of a reach as hakeemfan suggests. People tend to forget that he was the top recruit of his class not even two years ago. Mediocre first half of the season saw him fall into the mid/late 1st round but he finished strong and by the end of the season he was the best defender in college basketball. Add a couple of good workouts and it is easy to understand how he jumped back into the lottery.
