MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[DanSchwartzgan]

 
The biggest issue for me is NOW< and any objective observer sees an "incomplete" roster with MASSIVE holes.  

But without the 3rd Creator (who was going to be Brunson) and the 3rd wing (who was probably going to have to be landed by trade), the problem of being too thin is still there. ADDING 2 playoff-playable guys was the focus this summer, and with Wood added and Brunson subtracted, they are just where they were before. 

DanS, am I missing anything?

 

I don't think anyone is saying the team didn't blow some (several) opportunities in the recent past.  I also haven't seen anyone say we don't have holes (or at least a hole).  But we had the same wing hole while playing in the WCF's.  If Wood added and Brunson subtracted is truly "just where they were before", then you are missing the improvement of McGee over Powell and the return of Hardaway compared to what we had in the playoffs.  Those aren't insignificant.  

I think the biggest difference is I'm not willing to blast their inactivity on the 15th slot on August 3rd.  There is time.  I personally don't see the wing hole when the roster has Bullock, THJ, Dinwiddie for some of his minutes and presumably a youngster like Green eating up all of the two/three minutes.  DFS may even get some minutes at the three.  It might be accurate to say we'd prefer a different wing, but probably no room for another wing.  The hole is third PG.  Our first two combine to be arguably the best PG combo in the league.  I bet we can find someone to fill the third spot.
