Letting Brunson walk and the McGee signing were bad, but the Wood trade and his subsequent play has been a big plus (hopefully they don't screw that up), Green could easily not have progressed as well as he has this season and Hardy is looking like a promising second round pick. Those last three things could not have happened and this thing would be so much worse.
I'm not feeling the doom and gloom yet for this season. This team has gone through a rough patch injury wise and managed to stay around 500. I think if we can get healthy and maybe make a small TDL move we could finish top 5 and get a series win.
Tax teams don't take on bad salary for picks, so that was never going to happen. The only bad contracts right now are Bertans and McGee and they could both be stretch waived if necessary and we will be in possession of all of our picks in the offseason. I don't even think the roster is that much of a mess. It just needs a couple of upgrades that we will actually have the assets get soon.
I'm glad you're optimistic, because I'm not on the rest of the season, unless they make a major move.They need more size, wing depth and a ball handler. There are a couple of teams that have already leap frogged them, like the Kings. And some have key players in and out their lineup with injuries specifically N.O. I also don't think they have the assets to make such a move without giving up picks and a player like Green who I would not include, He's exactly the type of wing defender that they need. Nico has his hands tied trying to improve this team with Cuban's blessing.
