    The coach is clueless and the roster is Frankenstein's monster.

    I hate what this team has become.

    I feel like it's going to take a phenomenal GM and some "Field of Dreams" miracle to fix this roster

    Just shows you why tanking is an absolute crap shoot. I mean Stone really did well in the draft but because not only did he not luck out and get a generational talent but your two DIVISION rivals just so happened to BOTH luck out and draft generational talents.

    When you are only able to get role players, or flawed borderline all stars, you better hope they fit well together and with this group of young players I don’t think you could imagine 4 or 5 young players that fit worse next to each other.

    Plus your one superstar you acquired just so happens to be the best superstar that cannot handle the ball and needs another superstar ball handler to win close games.

    It’s just a roster that doesn’t really fit right now. I don’t think they need to blow it up, but you definitely are at the point where it’s clear that some of these players need to be traded to build a cohesive basketball team and not just a collection of good but not great prospects that are poor fits next to each other.

    Totally agree. For some reason, I don't think the front office researched well enough to figure out that KD has superstars playing alongside him outside of his first 3 years in the league. He is just not built to be a single cornerstone on any team. Stone could have salvaged this season by at least trying to move Tari and DFS at the deadline even at the risk of sacrificing one of our future picks because as we both agree, drafting in the top 3 takes a ton of luck and some league shenanigans (see SAS and DAL)
