Brandon Jennings

Dumars was too much in win now mode. I feel like he needed a better long term plan. I think Gores may have possibly put too much pressure on him to win right away. We should have not made all those moves, been worse last season, and had our lottery pick. That would have helped so much more for this season. Now we have an unbalanced team with untradeable assets. This team is even worse than I figured it would have been. I would have guessed it would have been mediocre. I'd actually rather be this bad than mediocre though. Lets just hope this keeps up and we can hopefully land a top 3 pick. We're probably going to lose Monroe though. I can't see why he'd want to stick around a losing situation. There's teams out there that will throw money at him.

Dumars knew that his job was on the line so got desperate and made short sighted moves.

We should of never pursued either Smith or Jennings, kept knight and let him evolve with Dre and Moose for a few years, drafted McDermott this draft (as we would have had a pick with a worse record), and then landed one more lottery pick next year and let SVG build around that,

Dre (Superstar potential)
Moose (All-star potential)
Mcbuckets
KCP / Meeks
Knight (All star potential)

And then probably end up in the mid lottery again this year and pick a Stanley Johnson or Justice Winslow (Swingman preferably)

That would be a young hungry team I could easily get behind,

***The more this season go's on, the more SVG should be able to see that Monroe IS the man to keep, not Smith - SVG is smart I hope he makes a move to rid us of Smith to show his loyalty to Moose***

Absolutely agree. Monroe is definitely turning into one of the games top PF's.

Besides being a terrible fit, Smith has actually looked terrible this year. He is missing easy shots from in the paint - he has fallen in love with this disgusting looking little hook / scoop shot that NEVER works. He definitely does not look like the player he is capable of being,

Monroe to me has looked a little like a taller version of Randolph. He is a bully in the paint, and seems to get VERY deep in the paint at will. He doesnt have too much flash to his game, the moves he uses are quite simple but so effective. His passing too is elite for a big man...

[dd24]

Yup, that's what I've been saying.
