And before this summer, I would’ve been resigned to this path like you seem to be.
But man, their maneuvering on draft night changed me. Imagine if they had just done that three years in a row up until the next free agent period for Luka. Imagine the amount of young talent there would be around here at that point, and imagine how much experience some of it would have by then. I have to believe that Luka is smart enough to see the wisdom in that approach, and think I would’ve tried to sell them on it. Who knows, maybe they did…
Don’t get me wrong – I am excited to watch these two new players with the team, and I do think they’ll make the team better.
There's no way Luka waits 3 more years for young talent to hopefully blossom. A player of his magnitude shouldn't have to wait either. He's in year 6. No great player has ever been content with waiting until year 9 to hope things work out. I understand you personally wanting that, but no matter what any of us think or want, it only matters what Luka wants. He deserves to have a competitive team and one that he can take deep into the playoffs if they are healthy. The roster is good now. Can Kidd coach them properly? Who the hell knows, but the talent is there now from 1-10. This roster is good enough if healthy and if Luka does his normal playoff thing, to make a run.
