Quote:dirkfansince1998Imagine the meltdown on this board if RC wins COTY. Right now he is in the top 4 in most rankings. It´s between him Spoelstra, Stevens and Nurse.
Why would there be a meltdown?
Rick is a great coach, who has some flaws like all great coaches. It also feels like he has adapted a little this season. Or he´s just a little less grumpy, when he has some actual basketball talent around.
He has scaled back on his TO meltdowns, and we are still #1 in TOs. He has benched veterans JJB and Lee, despite them shooting like 70% from three. Doesn´t change the fact that the front office needs to be very smart about the roster construction now. Malik Beasley, Davis Bertans, Juan Hernangomez, Harry Giles could be some younger players to target for the summer.
Smaller contracts with upside that could be packaged, when we make our move. Important to sign players with re-trade value (and not dinosaurs), when we don´t have that much in terms of tradeable assets right now.
Everything should be focused on getting that 3rd guy. It´s not about making short-term improvements to reach the 2nd or 3rd round this year. It´s about looking like the 2017 Warriors, when Luka turns 22 or 23.
I know everybody has their eyes on Giannis for 2021, but I think there might be another interesting, more obtainable, option.
