The title speaks for itself, and i certainly believe its true simply because we are in the east. Take the hawks for example, many expected them to finish in the lower playoff seeds but surprised everyone with stellar play and team work. I think if derozan can continue to play how he did in the second half of the season combined with lowrys all star play and an improved JV, this team can still improve. Obviously, there is a lot of what ifs, but at the same time, when was tanking ever a sure thing? A lot of luck is into play, okc gsw, are just two of the few teams that got lucky with their draft success but what about teams like minny and clippers in the 2000s? They've had so many bad draft busts. It's not like our team is horrendous, yes we dissapointed in the second half of the season and in the playoffs but what we saw in the beginning in the season is a glimpse of what this team can do with the right pieces. I do agree changes have to be made but i believe in keeping the core and adding pieces to it to contend. I also think Masai would not tank because if it does not plan out, he will definitely lose his job. I know we have endured many losing seasons but championship teams arent built overnight i think as fans we just have to be patient and watch the team grow and develop. This is a different team from the bosh-era team because this team has so many young players that arent even in their prime yet, cap flexibility, and potential so i can trust that ujiri wont make the same mistake as bryan colangelo
Some People that should go:
GV tops this list
Ross
Lowry (but not for the sake of just trading him, depends on who you can get)
*dont know which points guard that are availble that are better than lowry though so probably will stay on the team
Few we should Keep
Derozan
JV
Patterson
there are rumors about faried, not sure how he would fit with jv, would be nice to get him if ujiri can pull something magical again but i would prefer to have a post player like monroe
