Seems like there weren’t the players we were looking for available. Shows what the team thinks about Zach going forward as a key part of this team. Could have easily had K.Love in a Whiteside deal - shows the teams belief that keeping depth at the 5 is key.
I agree 100%. Looking at our current situation making up the games to get into the 7 seed might be a far shot with only 30 games left.
Which means we start thinking about our 1st round opponent which will likely be the Lakers. A deep pool of talented bigs with Nurk/Whiteside/Collins will be key to matching up with AD and defending the paint against LeBron. Everybody in the world will count us out of that series and overlook how much talent and experience we actually have on our team with Dame/CJ/Ariza/Melo/Whiteside
This team is very underrated right now due to injuries, and I’m a bit (only a bit, lol) surprised some of you are so quick to chastise Olshey.
This team is actually kind of stacked, just a shame we have so many injuries. Thankfully there’s not much pressure to slide into the 8 seed and then bring guys back and just take care of business in the playoffs like we are capable of.
