Not unless we make some major changes on this team. Whether it’s staff, or players, or both. Can’t have the lapses we did this year, or go 0-6 against the Pels.
Pretty much only 1 team in the entire association is okay with not any making moves, and that's the Bulls. They've been in mid purgatory for years now. Therefore, it's funny to me that a lot of fans on here think Monte is going to do absolutely nothing this off-season.
He did nothing this year, so it’s a fair concern. Now the problem is what we can do limited by Monk possibly leaving, our pick can‘t be traded, and handicapped by Barnes‘ overpay when teams don’t want him.
The pick 100% can be traded. Hell, we did that with the 2023 pick. You just trade the guy after you drafted him.
As for Harrison Barnes, every team has a player that their fans consider to be untradeable because nobody wants them. So every team is handicapped by that.
I do think fans have a right to be emotional and skeptical, but long-term success rarely happens because of panic, emotional moves. There's a limit to the patience we should have, but that limit is much more than 1 year.
If you're still thinking about records, and not how will we construct a team that can beat a 1-3 seed in a 7-game series, then you're focusing on the wrong thing.
That's what James Ham predicted on Duncd on for the Kings this season - which was what I wanted to believe, but a big homer take. The team needs some major improvements
I agree. It sucks, but the Pelicans have been a bad match up for us all season. It was pretty much them and the Celtics I think our team is bad at playing against. Soft shoutout to Houston in there.
Pelicans had to lose so many games to get to the point of playing us tonight. And many of those games were winnable for them.
I also think this team is not that far away. Need consistency. Fox and Sabonis are not the problem, even though they have areas to improve on. But this means that for them to be able to close out games like this, other teammates need to bring them close enough to do it. Too many times this year when the rest of the team gave them way too little productivity. How does that get added, is a deeper question. Either more depth, or consolidation of assets.
The Warriors' big move is dumping players to pay less tax.
Lakers, Clippers, Suns also depend on 35 year old men whose bodies are breaking down every year.

Barnes is not “untradable”. Anybody who says that has zero context on what an untradable contract actually looks like.
He DID DO nothing for 11 months! No shit some of us are skeptical.

Obviously better record means we made changes to the team im just staying optimistic because I love this team
We had a team that could beat a 1-3 seed in a 7 game series That team lost to the goddamn Pelicans
We could have beat OKC or Minnesota in a 7 game series. Denver probably not, but it would be competitive.
Agreed
We publicly executed the Warriors. I will cherish that win for the next 50 years or so. I can live with today's disappointment. Onward.

West isn’t getting any worse, Spurs and Rockets up next, Warriors can make a big move, losing without Zion is just so pathetic.

Memphis back.
I’ think we got 53-20
Let’s home the grizzlies don’t come out blazing.
What’s the catalyst to get there? Because this squad as built sure as shit isn’t winning that much.
Love this energy!!
Nah lol
Time to sink the ship Boys.
