There hasn't been a need for big spending in free agency with the young rebuilding team, otherwise u have a Corbin situation with vets stealing all of the development mins from the young guys. If that were the case half the board would still have it in for Lyles. It is however getting to that point to bring in a vet or two. I just don't know how much room there is in the roster to bring in free agents barring any trades happening.

I think DL is doing it right. I'm not sure there has ever been a good rebuild where the rebuild was sped up by spending a ton of money. We've had one of the weaker benches the last few years, but next year it looks to be a strength with Lyles Mack and Burks in the second unit, plus one of favors and Gobert usually seem to be in at all times. And this is all from being patient letting guys develop and building through the draft with a lucky trade.

Great post. Fans cried when Utah used stop gaps in route to an 8 seed a few years back and now they're crying because Lindsay is playing the long game, forcing our young talent to actually play, and not bringing in Vets that will steal their minutes away. Just so we can see 1 quick round of playoff basketball? They are getting to the point where it's time to strategically add a vet or two to take the next step but this rebuild has been done correctly thus far.

sometimes it's just a Valley Girl voice, dude. I thought you, b-line, and I were close enough I could it out without ruffling teh feathers.

(wait... you're about to say that it didn't ruffle your feathers. But it did. Otherwise you wouldn't have even seen "veiled jabs and insults.")

My sincerest apologies to you both. And to your families. And your future children and grandchildren. Pets included, obvi.

I found it funny enough to comment. You seem to need help today.

Also thank you for apologizing to my rotlab, she's moody.

Sorry NAOS. It's all because of the cake and its glorious. Everything is going according to plan. As They say in the A-team. "I love it when a plan comes together"

It is a shame that it didn't. DL needs to step up hard this offseason. Make some hard choices about players like Burks, Ingles, Withey... on if they are really part of this teams future. On who makes us good and who can we get to replace them to make us great.

If he fails again that is a rather large indictment on him considering he fell short this season already.

...and then bye bye Hayward.

Speaking of which, the cakk bakkers have to realize that the cakk strategy has now endangered keeping him. There's a big difference between two years in the playoffs -- the second time deeper than the first -- and one time in the playoffs. YUGE.
 
People ganging up on NAOS, and Cy isn't "liking" all the anti-NAOS posts? What's going on? Get on the ball Cy.
 
Rodney Hood is the new Draymond Green in terms of everyone in the league swearing they were the person in the room who wanted to draft him.
 
Rodney Hood was older as a draftee and Jordan Adams was the analytical darling. The draft is just a tough thing to measure... can't just use your eyes... can't just use your numbers.

What if DL has just gotten lucky in the draft... his other GM stuff isn't phenomenal so far. I think it is more than luck just for the record.

It is certainly possible. It's only been two drafts. If he tanks the next several than I guess we will know.
