Same as it ever was department with David Byrne revisited one more time. Because we have “markedly” improved THIS team in 3 ways at the deadline. Once again so MUCH actual anger and ridiculous talk about the Lakers under Mark Walter were going to actually PUNT this season “before seeing what actually happened”. People literally ramping it up getting madder and madder by the day. And already proclaimed this team has zero chance this year. Please give it a rest. And give it a rest on draft day and with what we’re going to do in the off season because you think Rob, while he’s still here, is a bumbling idiot.

The Luke Kennard trade was a massive upgrade and 2 birds with one stone with Gabe subtracted. Finally settling into some rationality about it after just one game seeing the GRAVITY he creates and oh wow who knew he could do other things well too, seems, besides the FO. While at least trying on D and being a smart player at least about it. Kobe Bufkin SIGNED was the 2nd great move. Young, athletic, big guard who seems decent at POA with room to get better and can score the hell out of the ball. And lastly the realization that Maxi is actually a hell of a bench player who can contribute on the front line.

As it always has it boils down to HEALTH this season. If we have it, including most importantly our Big 3, we can compete with anyone and see how the Ball Bounces. Center position this year compared to last is in a whole new zip code. With health we even have a good shot at running down the number 2 seed, like we had early in the year with LeBron not even playing, who is back in all star condition. Before all the other injuries started and players in and out of the lineup. That’s what I think.
