Randle-El sucks. Dante almost as bad and injured. There had to be a way to keep KAT, and we'd be walking to a title right now.


I like Randle. Yes I know all his faults and I know he has stinker games sometimes, but he has pluses too.

I’d take Randle and Dante over Towns any day. And you have to factor in too that Towns and Rudy together was not going to work long term, though they did make the best of it for a season.

Thump.

It's hard to get excited about the NBA draft. So... <sigh>

Until next year!

Personally I'd rather have Towns. Julius was on the verge of winning me over and then went into a completel funk when the Gianis rumors were swirling. He never pulled out of it. The KAT /Rudy combo went to the WCF finals as well. They did it without the benefit of Stef Curry getting injured in game 1 of a series.

I’m kind of glad the season ended on the note that it did, getting blown out badly.

The Denver series was remarkable. But even with that you knew it was a slim chance they’d put it all together and get past San Antonio and OKC and the East champion. Nobody was saying “Okay here we go, this is our year.”

So it was inevitable they were going down. But if it had been going down with nail biters and “Oh boy we were right there. if we’d have just gotten a couple of calls, gotten a couple of breaks, if if if…”

That could have led to a delusional offseason of largely standing pat again.

This series highlighted that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Connelly built a team designed to beat Denver in the playoffs. They have done a great job of that. The problem is that there are now much better teams than Denver that are constructed differently. This roster has already gone as far as it will ever go, IMO. It needs to be overhauled around Ant and McDaniels.
