It hurt Nico, too. We can just resign them to vet minimums, yah?

I mean yeah, but you have to pay ti get someone like James Harden.
The real issue in the play-offs was PG turning into Pandemic P.

PG realizes Roco didn’t even play right? What hurts is you not stepping up and playing with heart and effort like yo buddy was saying.

Translation: trading them for Harden who plays better than me and activated big Zu makes me look like 1D instead of 1B

We got injured again.. clearly it was the right call to not include another unprotected pick.
Don’t let the roster holes change the fact that the only reason we had any hope of winning was the Harden trade.
PG is always talking about what he doesn’t want to do on the court.

At this point im just tired with this dude. So what if you had to do more of the “dirty work” you are getting paid like a max player and yet you want to do want you want to do instead of doing what’s best for the team? tired of these excuses

The real issue was Zubac going down coinciding with Plumlee’s return. We had a consistent starting 5 in Harden/Mann/Kawhi/PG/Zu. They were scoring efficiently at all three levels and playing ridiculous defense. I truly belive that game we won @ New Orleans was our peak.
However, once Zu goes down it all went to shit. We went back to a predictable stagnant isolation offense. To top it off, Plumlee returns effectively taking Theis, one of our most effective role players during the hot streak, out of the rotation. To make it even worse, PJ Tucker gets back in the rotation despite publicly crying on social media.
During our hot streak, we had a solid rotation of stars playing up to their expectations & effective role players that raised our floor.
The trade brought in a player with an immense BBall IQ in Harden, and we saw that while we were tearing through the league. A flowing offense that was playing within a system and able to react to any defense, rather than force feeding one or two players and asking them to make it happen.
As the season derailed after the all star break, we never caught form again because we introduced players into the rotation who had no business being there. Then, it was all capped off by Kawhi suffering another season ending injury.
Nonetheless, I wouldn’t mind running it back instead of losing PG for free, but this fucking loser and his loser mentality gives me no hope. There’s a reason we had so much success this season sticking him in a corner and playing the MPJ role.

I personally don’t think this team is built for a long run. 2021 was the chance. 2023 we would have beat the suns if healthy but lost to the nuggets, this year the mavs were just better.
An 82 game season does not work for this team and it’s old players neither did the trade in the long term. I would have just rode it out and rebuilt this off-season but sadly we gave kawhi that extension, now we have to pay harden and PG.
Not a good look for an old team that doesn’t really fit.
