This is a message board with opinions. Funny how you call me a sheep when you're agreeing with everyone else.

This. The sheep are the fans who are in denial over the fact that we have two STARTER positions that need to be filled. Sheep like to take for granted that everything will just happen for the best. Thank GOD we don't have a FO that thinks like that. #MakingShetHappen for the win.

I'm very happy that we have a team good enough that tanking isn't a given, but I'm even MORE happy about the way this team is being managed at this point. Nice balance between giving the current players hope of winning, while maintaining our chances to draft our next big piece. God I love the Millers and DL right now, and so should everyone else.

Really? You ever heard of a kid called Dante Exum? I have heard rumours about him being a future starter for this team, and a good one too. As a tank commander, why would you worry about filling the PG spot with a starter now when we have Exum on board? Following your philosophy, we should just continue to be bad until Exum is ready, right?

Well you know what they say about opinions.
if this team lost every game morale and chemistry would be hurting. You got to take the GSW route to handling this. Philly, Minnesota are teams that could be years behind. Would you rather look like them?

Wait, who is losing every game? Jesus Krist, Philly and Minny have a nice future, and a few years ago, YOU would have put GS in the same category, no doubt. Of course I'm going to bet on Utah's future, but anyone who yaps about Minny and Philly being crap, is counting on luck to make those predictions come true.. Both of those teams will be near the top of the league in 5 years. Booker it.

Don't forget that we have a bunch of other starters. As long as we're assuming everyone turns out to be a starter, how could you forget Burks and Kanter? Obviously we're sure to have at least 8-10 starters. Truthfully, not sure how we aren't contending this year. Next year is obviously the championship, since it's totally reasonable to assume every player will work out like we hope.
-
In reality, it could be 3 years before Exum becomes what we hope he will be. Maybe we should just forget about team building until all our players work out exactly the way we hope. Good plan.
 
To add on to my last post, Utah SHOULD be several years from contending. The difference right now is Rudy Gobert. He changes the equation from competing in 2-5 years, to going all-in next year. Why? Because having an impact player like Rudy on a rookie contract puts you in a great position to contend, due to the fact he's a legit starter giving you the chance to spend elsewhere.
-
Good news for all the anti-tankers who don't have patience with building a team. When you have a stud defensive starting center on a rookie contract like this, it gives you a big advantage in putting your money towards the other starting positions. Anti-tankers should have a big Rudy-boner in terms of what should happen next year.

I agree. We are past the full out tank time. We can't go back. We are too deep in the rebuild. We've played the tanking game, and look what it got us. This team needs a star sure, but sadly we have to go with plan B.
Hayward, and Gobert are the best players on this team talent wise. We just have to hope for a late lottery addition that makes us better. We've got to start learning how to win this year.

We may already be looking at our stars Hayward and Gobert! scout well for a teens pick and who knows, just dont match Kanter if more than 10-11mil- I happy to go Gobert,Favors,Booker bigs with a +1, sign Motum :)
 
I feel bad for the Pelicans. They really screwed up building their team by rushing steps. They would've been so much better off keeping their draft picks and not trading for Holiday and signing Evans for so much.
