    Same here, I would want a complete rebuild. But what about Dame? Would you keep him? Would he hurt our chances to get a top pick?

    We have 40 mil in cap space and no bad contracts to get rid of. We can retool fairly quickly if LA leaves.

    What do we need to tank for? We have a young all star point guard, our other young guard was arguably the best player on the entire squad in the playoffs, and a couple young big men who have also flashed in plumlee and Leonard. Then you have a 19 year lottery pick with freak measurables and actual skill that just needs time to develop. We're not in that bad of a position. We can fill our holes through FA in the next two summers.

    Jabari young was the beat guy for... the Spurs before coming here. A little bias there.

    He should go back.

    Can we throw him in Aldridge's suitcase?

    Really? I think he is refreshingly realistic and not the requisite 'homer' that we get from most of the TV Blazer associated media.

    I like Young. He's much better than anyone we've had before

    I only get a dumbass vibe from him. Same with Rice and they're polar opposites on the homer spectrum.

    I thought Jabari was in Cleveland before he came here and Haynes just sort of swapped places with him
