Here's to hoping we can at least get past the 1st round this year, then get some help from the draft gods above

I'm 100% okay that we didn't get PG or Butler yesterday. It would of been cool for the sake of it, but not mortgaging a potential flight risk.
Bird wanted the 2017 Brooklyn pick + 3 of the 4 from AB, Crowder, Smart of Jaylen... I would of told him to get lost. Maybe the pick, one of those guys and a deeper 1st round non-brooklyn pick.
Danny played this one correct, if you can't knock off CLE or GSW then it's not worth shedding valuable assets on cheap contracts or potential big draft picks. Jimmy nor PG would have taken us past them.
Press on with this season, give the guys some further playoff experience, take your picks and shoot for Hayward in FA and make some trades for a big man.
