    I am going to be blunt and tell it like it is and if you cannot handle the truth then that is your problem not mine.

    This team had to make a trade and the fact that it looks like Cronin is going to do jack shit is the final nail in his coffin for me. You have two players in Ant and Grant who are standing in the way of giving Scoot and Sharpe over 30 min a game each and he is playing hardball instead of just taking a small L so they can take a big W when Sharpe and Scoot grows even more.

    Screw Cronin and the ownership ( whoever that might be ) they have failed in the mission of a rebuild that Cronin himself said needed to happen so he said one thing and did another -- I am shocked -- F U Cronin

    If any fans want to defend this crap then you care more about winning now ( when that means little to nothing ) then building this team into a contender in the future -- Period ....

    Joe must really want the 10th pick in the draft.

    Its not about getting a guy.

    Its about getting rid of the horrific Ayton Grant Ant trio and giving Scoot/Sharpe/etc an opportunity to play.

    Incoming bland statement from Cronin saying “we’re really happy with our team and want to see what we’re capable of going forward, we believe in our guys”

    So fucking sick of the it takes two to tango bullshit that I've been hearing every draft and trade deadline for almost all of the Olshey/Cronin risk averse shit show.

    Real GMs get deals done... PERIOD. They create realistic goals and then do what they have to, to get another front office or two over the finish line. That's not what we've got from Joe.

    Its a joke that Cronin said we were building the team around Scoot and Sharpe.

    How do you build a franchise around two players if you have Five guys playing in front of them.

    Can you imagine if we had kept Raymond Felton as our starting PG and stuck Dame on the bench for years?

    it took Golden State 2 1/2 seasons with curry to trade Monta Ellis. Then when they did the owner was booed.
