Exactly. It's tough for me to see where the growth is going to come from on this team. It's going to take some major moves to get me feeling optimistic about this team.
First would be canning Mike Brown. This team should not be so unexciting. There is nothing to like about this team, they are unlikable and that's got a lot to do with their orchestrator. Luol Deng might be injured, but you can see how we misused him. I have never seen Deng look so lost in my life.
Just because Hawes can make threes, doesn't mean anything when he's a matador defensively and gives all the points right back. Tristan has looked like total shit even if he's averaging a double double. He was a much more dynamic player last year, and for being young and athletic and having the multiple jumping ability; he's pretty fucking unspecial defensively.
Eventually Varejao will wilt away, he's still a hell of a player, and one day in the near future we're going to have to take a loss on him. He can't play forever.
Zeller has looked better, but he's still soft and I'm not sure it's anything the weight room can solve. Bennett is our only hope, and that seems like a long shot proposition. His confidence was fractured from day one, and all the jumpers he's clanged might require forced amnesia.
Then we're stuck with Jack, who is a complete and total jackoff. He might be good in a playoff series, but Delly has 5x the heart of this blood sucker.
And we still don't have a legitimate second star, and our push for the playoffs will probably end up netting us the tenth pick in the draft. In the most talented draft in mannnny years.
Two years ago we looked so promising, everything was on the upswing. I'm convinced the moment we drafted Dion Waiters the whole thing started going down the toilet. That was the first wrong move was pairing two scoring guards, and thinking Dion was Dwyane Wade and not a poor man's Monta Ellis.
After that, Re-Hiring Mike Brown severed a leg. Signing Bynum, Jack and Clark was a tri-fecta for the ages to compliment cough cough and enable the new coach. Then we draft Bennett and allow him to come into camp 30 pounds overweight. Fractured his confidence and started him off on the worst possible pro entrance of all time.
