What you guys think about JJ Redick as HC?

I don’t hate it. Something new is better than recycling bad coaches. We should hire Doc Rivers or Bud IMO, but I would be happy with a new face.

Still an awful roster

We have a PG, SF/SG, and C with nice potential. Hayward and Rozier are solid vets to have if we resign Miles (not a fan) that’s another big man. Not a great roster, but could be fun in with the right staff to develop them.

This isn’t a great roster yet but there is really no reason this cannot be a playoff roster. Once Jordan is officially gone the new decision makers need to move on from both dinosaurs Clifford and Kupchak and begin anew.

Guess I'm a homer but with the addition of Bridges and Miller I think the team is very solid.

I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, I have no expectations for this team to do anything good.

Mark Williams looks like he could be legit as well, that's a nice starting 5. Granted Miller is the unknown. Very smooth but the shot looks a little flat. Much like a Miller Lite. I thought Lamelos shot was ugly too but hey if it works.

Guessing Terry will be out but if hayward is our 25 million dollar 6th man (other than embarrassment) not a bad problem to have.

Please do not turn Gordon's expiring contract into a poo sandwich of another overpaid player that we have to eat for 3 years.  Just let him play out the contract and move on. I'm sick of watching this team swap bad contract for worse contract every fuging year.

Lamelo-Miller-Bridges-Washington-Williams starting

That's not a terrible rotation,  that's better then the trash Miami took to the finals

Show me a great one

[carpanfan96]

That team made the play in game two years ago with Bridges and Lamelo. Now they've got Williams, Miller and nick Smith to add to that. Possibly able to move rozier or Hayward for another piece. 

 

No reason they don't make the playoffs as at least the 7th or 8th seed, but should be the 6th if everyone comes back and plays like they can.

Is a Miles Bridges for Paul George sign n trade realistic?

 

Clippers have PG on the trade block. Would be nice to get Miller his GOAT to mentor him.

Maybe Miles and Rozier plus some. Would Miller and PG be too similar of players though?

[WUnderhill]

People would hate it, but try to sign Bridges to a team friendly longer term deal while his value is low. If Bridges would go for it. If he plays well the team either has a young player on a good contract or an extremely valuable trade asset. That’s the type of thing that can set up long term sustained success.

Also the obvious fire Mitch and Cliff for the love of all that is good. But at this point the team has already missed out on several good coaches by dragging their feet.

We won 43 games with a worse version of this roster before last season.

Mark Williams instantly makes this roster better than the 21-22 version of it
