Who do y'all think would make us whole next season, as in adding or subtracting?
I'm not sayin' off Spo just yet, but + something to the coaching staff
Kinda hoping UD and Birdman retires and let us move forward and sign younger big guys, especially for next season..
Love Deng but I think if we could add a SF with better handles and a little more size than the starting line-up and bench would have grown exponentially. Too many slashers with Dragic, Wade, and Deng in the starting 5.
Could be one of the biggish teams in the league with Whiteside, Bosh, McRob... so on and so on...
Doubt were looking at any big FA's, so I say + Hopson/Birch, - Chalmers/Walker
and + 1 or 2 shooters... I think lol. Maybe something similar will happen.
i dunno man. imo our squad is nice with high potential right now, but itd be more so if we attacked our issues from the inside. our shooting is abysmal. i think our team would lose at a local LA fitness in a game of 3ball. We've addressed our big man situation so FINALLY we're set on centers. We've always had too many PGs we need to trim the fat. If chalmers doesnt put together his absolutely BEST year ever this coming year, hes out. he hasnt developed at all in the nba. and the only reason isay give him one last chance is out of nostalgia and loyalty. but keeping it real, hes pretty much a f*** up that can hit a 3 once or twice a game...maybe.
shabazz needs to be integrated. tyler johnson needs to be integrated. we dont need any more pg's. need to train the ones we have. ud just isnt UD anymore. he barely ever hits that midrange shot thats been his bread n butter. i dont want to see him go off of nostalgia and loyalty either tho. i think birdman still has use on the team.
we need the team we have to work man. Wade putting up pothead numbers last night. deng not scoring. Whiteside putting up the best numbers is not acceptable. Whiteside is great, but he shouldnt be greatER than the #1 option. Wade needs to get it sorted out.
Ive said this before as well. Wade, shabazz, chalmers, tyler, deng, beasley, and ennis need to be in hardcore shooting training. all summer. nonstop. give em a 2 week vacay then soon as they come back work them to death. like wade said, other teams have figured out the heat's gameplan. we've lost all of our shooters either to retirement or to lebron. time to make new shooters. 500 MADE 3pters a day no excuses. This shouldn't be a problem for them but its not like coachin/training staff is pushing them. And spo sure as hell aint.
if we could stretch the floor, the inside wouldn't be so crowded. we'd have an idea star center/star sg type set up. thats a NIGHTMARE on defense. itd be like the kobe shaq ordeal. u have to double team the sg, but that means whoever is down low has to fight the beast by themselves. NIGHTMARE to defend. and even if you somehow find a way (or have the personnel) to defend the sg, they have a shooter likely chilling open in the corner. but nobody is scared of our outside shooting so the lane is ALWAYS crowded forcing us to do the patented chalmers-esque-run-into-traffic-then-squeeze-by-on-baseline-and-then-bring-it-back-up-to-where-you-started tactic. or chuck a rushed shot since defense is pretty much always set and in position.
if u ask spo tho... we're fine. we just need more grit. we need to get back into rhythm 1 bucket at a time, we need more collective grit.
