  1. Man, I have the exact opposite feeling.

    We need competent supporting pieces.

    Of course a superstar level player would be great, but I don’t think that’s the issue here. We have too many not great shooters on the roster.

    Poeltl, Schroder, Pascal, Precious, Boucher, Flynn and McDaniels are all below average for their position.

    We have Gary, OG, Scottie and Otto that could be considered at least average shooters at their position and that’s it. Hopefully Dick joins that group but right now he’s not able to provide that. Otto is far from a reliable player to have available. So we’re left with 3 guys to rely on shooting the ball and one of those just started to shoot the ball well this year.

    If Flynn and Precious were actually performing as shooters (say 38% and 35%) and Pascal was having a good shooting season (say he was at 35%). Then we’d have an okay shooting team. Those things aren’t happening, so we’re a terrible shooting team.

    We need to add 2-3 shooters into our top 10

    Nah I think we gotta swap out a few existing pieces too

  4. CheatedOnOnce

    Fun fact: even the top tier teams with a superstar haven’t made it to the finals. Looking at your 76ers

  5. BeginningRespond1409

    we are a superstar player, some good shooting guards and a competent bench from being a contending team

  6. That superstar is kawhi who is playing at his peak ever right now

    If he stays healthy clips are a powerhouse

  7. Interesting-Test180

    “All we need is a few shooters”…………and what end up middle of the pack? A couple shooters will not win us a ring

  8. Just that one piece….. _An entire fucking roster of useful players_

    We’re so close guys!

  9. They need a superstar, and about 4 or 5 good bench players, 2 or 3 of whom would be considered borderline starters. Just to be relevant.

    We have Sct Brn. We just need SHOOTERS to space the floor. Right now teams just load up the paint because they know we can’t shoot which makes it extra hard for guys like Scottie and Pascal. I think it’s also a big contributing factor to Pascal’s numbers being down this season.

  11. Toronto-MapleLaffs

    We need a superstar AND several supporting players.

    No Kawhi no chance. You don’t win anything without a Top 5 player let alone Top 10.

  14. RZAAMRIINF

    75% of the league is a superstar away from being good.

  15. needaburnerbaby

    You think this team is one piece away? Did you watch any of the 26 games?

  16. JohnnyFootballHero

    Would we have a better or worse record rn if we got Dame?

  17. TheNewKing2022

    We only need a Michael Jordan or Lebron type player away from winning.

  18. attainwealthswiftly

    If you added the best player in the league to our team we MIGHT be a playoff team, like 6th in the east. The truth of the matter is that we need a complete rebuild.
