    You have to be incredibly stupid to believe this team is just one player away (FVV) from being a contender. Truly stupid. The Durant trade was a disaster, and sitting back during trade deadline should have been the end of Stone. Stone and Udoka shouldn't be here next season.

    “Is this just not our year?”
    probably the stupidest comment out of a GM. Any good GM would find ways to mitigate clear roster gaps but no. We're fine with what we have

    I was going to bump but thank you. I can't wait for that day. I will be so happy when it happens. We had no one else to turn to in the bench because everyone else sucked beside tate... that's so sad. We had to play tate which he gave us good minutes but no one really thought he would play this year.

    The job of a good GM is precisely that: to find ways to maximize the team's potential.
    Even more so when your main move was trading for an aging star. Stone shouldn't have a job once the season is over.

    The Durant trade itself is not a disaster, but every move Stone made following the trade - definitely was. And also every move Stone didn’t make.
    And yeah, the FVV assumption is indeed stupid. I mean, if you believe that a type of player like him is what we’re missing, then sign a da*n pg!! Even if tomorrow Fred is back, who’s gonna back him up?
    So frustrating.

    We could have been in the mix for AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer or Darryn Peterson if Stone was not leveraged to give up Brooklyn's 2026 pick

    He deserves to be fired.

    He had 4 top 4 picks and didn't draft a single 'franchise player'. Signed Ime Udoka. Signed FVV over Harden. Had a chance to salvage this season and rectify his mistake by trading for Harden, refused to even attempt it.

    He's had every opportunity to rebuild this team into a powerhouse and failed at each turn. He's not a contending-quality GM.
