I’ll never understand the hate Mitchell gets on here he played hard, he was a great player, he did everything the coach asked of him. Would he have preferred to play elsewhere? Probably but the reality is most players do.
It depends what you mean by competing. Will they be a contender next year? No. Who is though?? If Walker is healthy, they add a top 4 talent and maybe Austin Reeves, will they be in the playoffs? 100%. Even without Reeves. They do that and they have the talent to build something great.

He’s 28 not 38 his game also is reliant on athleticism but not as much as a lot of players he’s a 7 footer who can shoot anywhere. Plus he’s a no drama guy who likes it here and I’m not convinced we can get an equal return on him.
This game just proves that:
A. We are right to tank and tank hard because we need another star. Not top 8. Top 4.
B) Without a solid big in the game your team cant compete long term. We need to keep Walker. Obviously.
C) Keeping Lauri is the right move without him we are years away from...
Proud of our guys it’s tough to win when they hired pied pipers for refs tonight. Haven’t seen such a badly officiated game in a long time. But hey the tank is still on.
