    They did not fail it, they are still in the middle of it.

    News flash, practically every franchise "fails" their rebuild, then.

    Bad luck season that also exposed some core weakness. We have not failed.... that's just irrational fan talk. We do have major questions about where to go from here, but we have options that can be backed up with assets.

    Technically we just came up short. It’s like half baked lasagna, but the oven broke.

    And 38yr old KD makes sense for a team still in the middle of rebuilding? I almost chocked laughing when Stone said bringing in KD was not about contending, rather they think he’s good for their young guys. That is lol funny.

    Feels like he was trying to avoid saying "we were getting off of Jalen's contract before he lost all his trade value". If KD is traded for a decent return I'll forgive a lot of these blatant lies, but I'm not feeling optimistic right now.

    The window to tank has closed. They plan to flatten the odds starting in 2027. It was risky before - it's going to be pointless now. You might as well be a middling team like us and hope you get lucky. And I say this as someone who was very much in the pro-tank camp before.

    So the plan is to assassinate Wenbanyama and SGA? Because that's the only way this team could even dream of contending anytime in the next 10 years.

    They will try to sell it next year how going to the 2nd Round and possibly having a shot at WCF is the highest of their Feelings (GOALS).....

    That's it!

    They have not shown to beat Anthony Edwards, McDaniels etc...

    Yeah, the Nuggets would look different next year but who knows where they would be.

    Fair point. Add Ant, Luka and Joker to the hit list, Stone! And you know what? Throw in Deni too.

    I don’t care how good the coaching is if the players can’t hit the shots then what will be the point excuse? The rebuild fail every year we tanked and ended not getting the number 1 pick

    Remember 2018? 27 straight missed shots on a team full of shooters? A good coach is a good leader who can change the mental trajectory of a team when they're floundering.

    A good coach is also going to have Amen in the gym every day in the offseason shooting 1,000 shots from all over the floor and Alpy 1,000 from three. These kids are still clay waiting to be molded.
