For everyone cheering about Lue being great for the tank,I hope you realise he's going to be horrible for the development of the younger players.
You’re smart enough to know these sentiments are merely coping mechanisms as we fans have very little to say about what direction Dan Gilbert takes the team. I think people such as myself internalized Lue coming back as a positive because we knew he was coming back and are simply embracing the tank. Openly rooting to lose? No, I can’t do that but the flaws are glaringly obvious and we got the door blown off by a bottom 5 team.
A coach that underachieved with LeBron isn’t going to overachieve without him (typing this made me chuckle). We’ve been plying fireable defense for years now and nothing has happened.
This will be the first year of the tank so only Collin is in danger of not being developed correctly and I am nervous about that (Zizic and Cedi were already pros before being drafted and just needed minutes). TT being dealt by some miracle will hopefully force Lue into playing Zizic regular minutes. However I won’t hold my breath because he’s garbage and nobody would trade for him so I imagine him laying down bricks in order to create a path to RJ Barrett.
