FO's Biggest Mistake This Off-Season: Promising the Playoffs 6 months ago

if we make the playoffs as the 7th or 8th seed, then this season was great. We coached prospects, didnt commit long term money, and can finally put that stupid 1st round pick trade behind us.

It’s not all doom and gloom, the season is about to start! Be excited, I am one of the people that believes our current roster can do it. Rome wasnt built in a day and we have a whole new office in charge that will pay dividends.

Wasn’t his contract expiring anyways? Just pay him the 4 mil to sit on the bench then let the contract expire and we still have the amnesty to use next year. Now it is gone, we have no Bell and nothing to show for the amnesty on him. We wasted a 4 mil amnesty when it could have been used on a higher contract later or at least reevaluate later….well I guess the FO had more hope in getting DJ than they really did, that is all I can think about the Bell amnesty, just doesn’t make sense other than the fact he liked to drink too much and they just wanted him gone, which does make sense and is justifiable.

say what you want about Michael Jordan and his ability as an owner/gm, but even he realizes now how bad being a middling team in the NBA is….Here’s a quote from an article on espn.

“Marred in what he felt like an endless cycle of mediocrity — battling for the final spot in the playoffs every season — the Bobcats decided to trade away their two best players last year in Gerald Wallace and Stephen Jackson and began to build with an eye toward the future.”

This infatuation of getting the 8th seed is really pointless…we are essentially Bobcats West…they made the 8th spot and it did not serve as a stepping stone to contention…it just prolonged the inevitable rebuild.

This year Minnesota and LA Clippers are definitely improved, so the west will be more competitive than last year, meaning the fight for 7th and 8th seeds will be brutal. It will definitely be interesting to see the Warriors in the midst of that fight.

I’m completely disgusted with the front office. Guess what Lacob? The roster sucks, and you just re-signed the man who assembled it! Thanks for the back-to-back crappy coach hirings too. They’re young and hip and charismatic. And Don Nelson has taken craps that know more about coaching than either of them.

Yay, we have exciting prospects that we’re developing in the front office! Our assistant coach is awesome! We got an extra second round pick! Oh, and watch out for Dakota! That’s like having our own prospect factory!

Seriously? And some of the fans buy this BS?

We have one of the worst rosters in the West, and probably bottom 10 in the league. No real cap room, possibly no draft pick (though a center tandem of Beans/Brown could help us get that pick back).

He’ll leave them, get traded like cp3. Or since he has the biggest trade value he can be the piece to trade a top 7 pick in this years upcoming draft. I’m down for that for the record. Along with trading away Monta and lee and replace them with udoh and klay. Then andris will suck enough for a few more years and then retire. By then the warriors will be the new thunder. Or like the old thunder, well,you know.

and the biggest mistake was not trading curry and monte.
