    Nothing to rationalize really for me really. I didn't expect Brogdon or Grant to get moved at trade deadline when they will get more for them in the offseason.

    10 day another guard -- WTF is Cronin doing he trades a 2nd for a scrub SG / SF then signs a PG to a 10 day ---- I was going to ask does Cronin have a clue but the answer is obvious -- he is a complete and utter tool.

    Head exploding in 10 .... 9 .... 8 ......

    Really? I think for the first time in years we have a REAL direction.

    Have we seen Joe make a bold move yet? The Dame trade and subsequent trades don't count he didn't have a choice which may have been by his own design. The guy is the Machiavelli of doing nothing. I feel like he's the protagonist from Office Space but he's running our team and isn't funny.

    yes, an injury prone guard who led his team to 25 wins, entering the final year of his contract will be worth more as an expiring than he is after his 10 game showcase where he averaged borderline all star numbers.

    Brogdon or Ant to any playoff team that would benefit from adding a competent guard. Orlando had long been my preference.

    Yes, I understand that since Orlando didn't actually trade for a guard, we don't know what they would have offered for one. Still, I believe that a competent GM would have been able to negotiate a decent deal.

    letting malcolm brogdon and jerami grant play crunch time every night as we claw our way to 25 wins? this is a direction you support?

    we traded Dame for this?

    You didn't hear about Giannis for a protected 2nd round pick? I can't believe Cronin passed!

    This, so much this! People said Joe would be selling low for just 2 seconds for Brogdon yet now they are pissed he wasn't moved.

    It's okay to have a couple, in fact it's ideal. We're the 3rd youngest team in the league.

    He's an asset that can be part of a bigger pkg. Not stressing over it...Simons will be the odd man out come offseason, just my opinion.

    Me too. And I totally understand those that feel otherwise. However its the pompous arrogance that comes across in every other post that is annoying. Like, there are a few know it all's that cant phathom anything but the OPINION that they are right.... all the fricken time. LOL at them.
