Tilman was wrong

This is a counter thread to the tilman was right to pursue LTS

Let's look at the cost cutting moves specifically

Knight for Shumpert
- shumpert didn't do **** . We would be better off with knights contract as an expiring to flip next year along with picks for a better player

Ennis for nothing
- this is the one that gets me . Ennis was finding a niche off the bench . He brings hustle and athleticism . He proved he is a rotation caliber player , look at how well he has done in philly .

House to g league
- another cost saving move . We kept him in the g league when he was clearly playing at an NBA level . We did this to try and force him to sign long term , and to ensure we were under the tax . Do you not think an extra 20 games would have helped him build chemistry ?

While I think the main culprit of us getting outplayed is MDA . I think these three moves hurt us both this season and next year . We might be able to keep House after his shitty performance , but if he played better we might have won .

Despite some truly stupid play by us , the margin vs GS was super thin . IMO this is because harden is so great .

I think the situation the other thread describes "we weren't good enough anyways , tilman shouldn't pay the tax for a loser " just isn't true . We were right there and held our fate in our own hands . ANY additional help could have made the difference. Playing farried our house could have made a difference . Ennis could have made a difference .

We got outworked on the glass the last two games right ? Pj wanted Ennis here because he's a dog . We need every scraper we could get . We let him go for nothing to save money .

Just my opinion
