The is a REALLY REALLY dumb post my ****.
The way Brunson is playing combined with a healthy roster, the emergence of Deuce we absolutely could make the finals, especially with our defense
We need a healthy OG it starts there.
I agree.
So what is the most likely outcome this year and next year?
I'd say given the health of OG, Randle and our cast of bigs plus the strength of the Celtics, and other better teams in the East we have maybe a 5% chance to make a final. With a roster that just gets worse, with no exciting draft assets, no future All-NBA players under 25. Brunson is an all-NBA player now, on a great contract, on a go nowhere mid-Bobcat team. Maybe I eat my words and OG opts in if he's really hurt and can't come back, but I imagine as a client of CAA he'll get an insane deal.
As of today we're picking 19th and 24th and have no chance to win anything this year other than January 2024. There's almost no worse place to be assuming you actually have your pick.
