    We need a GM who will actually do their job

    Just like anyone else, Stone’s actions say a lot more than his words.

    Stone takes no actions, he is incapable of taking risk because he doesn't want to make a mistake that he will have to own up for and get fired.

    Did the 3 stooges have a remote device that controlled Sengun’s feet and somehow prevented him from moving them on defense or getting to the right spot? Did they somehow moved Sheppard’s hand to make him go 6-20? Did they prevent Amen from hitting wide open mid range shots?

    In 2021 James Harden forced his way off the team because he failed.

    Are you that guy that keeps calling back you ex-gf after she cheated on you? SOMETIMES, you need to stand your ground. This is one of those times. You need to stop thirsting on JH and remember what it was like when he single handedly burned down this team. ...and then he did it again. ...and again ...and again. The JH shipped has sailed. Let it go.

    As of TODAY (the real today, not the fictional today), this team would be better with FVV starting at PG than with Amen and Reed. This team would have also been better if they didn't sign DFS and got a legit backup PG that can also shoot.

    You really don't want what best for the team, did cavs fans reject and not want LeBron back because he left Cleveland to win in Miami?

    His lack of action is an action; at times the best response is to not respond. (Even though I just did)

    Judging people by action or lack of action has far more meaning than what is spoken. People will say anything and everything is nothing more than prospective from one’s viewpoint.

    Think of all the things in life that almost happened, aren’t you kinda glad they didn’t happen? Reality isn’t that bad. -> Go Rockets

    The 2nd round against the Thunder was ALWAYS going to be brutal to watch, even if KD, Aquaman, and F Van V were ALL in perfect health....

    why are so many people afraid of OKC? We always play them tough historically going back last year. All 3 games this year have been close games and the second game came down to the 4th quarter which they blew us out in. We match up well against them.

    The teams we always struggle with are the speedy ones with lots of screens and DHO’s and offball movement. We do well against ISO teams. OKC is an ISO team

    Ime can't fix the shooting woes of this team. Stone is the one trying to build a 90s roster with shitty, terrible shooting. Our two "franchise" players are both bricks from range. Sengun can't even hit shots at the basket because teams can just crowd the paint.

    We're going to decide in the off-season which non-shooter we want to build around, Sengun or Amen. We can't have both, especially with how Ime coaches an non-existant offense. If it were up to me, I'd just blow it up now and get as much picks and younger assets back as possible because I don't want to be in the same timeline as the Wemby Spurs and this Thunder Dynasty, especially when our "franchise players" are nowhere as good as theirs.

    Did you really just compare Lebron (the 2nd most finals appearances in NBA history) to James Harden (never made it to the finals once)? Oh wait, JH did make it the finals once in 2012. Sorry, ironically against Lebron ...and lost.

    Lebron has never been traded as he always left in free agency. He never forced a trade putting his soon-to-be former team behind the 8ball in negotiations.

    One player has integrity and results; the other has neither integrity nor results.

    Just stop talking about James Harden. That shipped sailed.

    I can't argue against anything you just said.

    They won't blow it up. They will trade both of them for Giannis.

    This is your team next season:
    FVV/Reed
    KD/Tari
    Jabari
    Giannis
    Capella/Adams
