I don't think that's optimism. That's realism bordering on pessimism.
They have two really great players. Teams with players like that SHOULD be competing for Conference Finals appearances.
They definitely aren't because they have a shite coach and a mediocre roster. It is what it is.
They should be better than a 6-7 seed, but they probably won't be.
If they don't make the playoffs then everything just burns down. Whatever. It is what it is.

I can't name one guard for peels outside of holiday of course they are the worst in the league. If u put line, levart, whitehead,foyer and hollis Jefferson and Archie goodwin (nets) they are a no doubt about it play off team

I mean I'm hesitant on giving gentry that much leeway to for sure say that much over .500 even with all of that happening.

Ah good point. I'm going to be honest, Magic has done a pretty good job...so far. I didn't like the DLo trade initially, but I failed to look at the big picture. Let's hope he doesn't make any dumb FA moves this summer
I completely agree. Let's hope they don't do something stupid after midnight tonight

I think having Jrue Holiday, a pretty good Guard, pretty much disqualifies them from "worst in the league" territory.
E'twaun Moore is a pretty good backup that a lot of teams would probably like to have. The problem is he starts for us. Crawford really showed something this past year, scoring wise. If he keeps it up he will get a big contract from someone.
After that is a pretty big shitshow.

As for Iguodala, I still am of the opinion that he stays in GS when the dust settles.
That'd be really impressive if an aging athlete turned down money. He's going to probably turn down at least a 50% raise to stay put.

I can't argue with you there. Gentry is an absolute bum.

I know a lot of Pels fans are not a fan of Holiday at a big number but I don't think they really have a choice.

They basically have no alternative.
The alternative would be giving up assets like the 2018 pick + Etwaun Moore and other parts for a Rubio, Lin, or at best, Bledsoe.

Still don't see how that team is gonna be any good next year
A core of AD/Boogie/Jrue - I'd be absolutely shocked if NOP wasn't any good, but maybe we have varying definitions.

No. Their roster aside of those 2 is awful. They may have the worst guard play in the NBA

I agree with you, but he also took a pay cut to join GS in his prime and the tech/investment opportunities there can make up some of the money he is losing on NBA contracts.

They'll hover around .500
They may sneak in to the playoffs with the Clippers falling apart.

Nah. They'll be a few games better than 500. Really outdated thinking on your part.

He didn't take a pay cut to join gas he got 4-48 mil when 48 mil was still a lot of mine
He had just come from Denver his stock wasn't as high

I mean in today's NBA the standard honestly is something completely different for really good teams tbh

That's not true. He had come off a really good season both individually and as a regular season team that year and he was the center piece of that.

Iguodala turned down a four-year, $52 million contract with the Sacramento Kings, a $60 million five-year deal with the Nuggets, and a "lucrative" deal with the Mavericks. The Warriors were able to land Iguodala at a discount in comparison with a four-year, $48 million contract.
