He easily could of bought him two more years with how fantastic this off season almost was, but it's 3 big steps forward and two small steps back.
Green, Graham, Jonas, Murphy, and Herb is byfar the best offseason in years.
But... Letting Lonzo walk and getting terrible filler is bad. You put yourself in a bad spot of making the team too top heavy and can't afford injury, but even if Zion was healthy. I don't think we would of been better than 3-4. Bench is awful.
Maybe if we offloaded Kira and a pick for Derozan in a sign and trade. Kept Ball. Brought in real vet guys instead of salary fillers. Keep Graham, NAW, Murphy, and Herb develop into a nasty bench.
Maybe we be the ones looking pretty at 6-1 instead of the Bulls if Zion was healthy or 4-3 with Zion injuried
Zion is an issue, but the talent problem is a bigger issue. Burning salary for bull******** deadline trades is unacceptable.. We needed a bench badly.
This halfway competing ******** with Griff is old. Glad to see him get fired in 4 months.
