As a fan, this season will be a lot of fun.

Going to a lot of fun to be able to watch Fears, Queen, Peavy...I'm even looking forward to seeing what Poole has to offer

I'm optimistic about Zion and hopeful he can be healthy. When he is, he is pretty unstoppable.

I'll worry about the trade/draft fallout in the future, I'm not the GM, I'm the fan. I get to have fun and not really worry about the potential storm in the future (no guarantees it comes to pass- Queen could become everything Dumars thinks he is)

And hopefully all this negativity centered around the trade will be internalized as fuel for Queen to dig in deep and be everything he can possibly be. And this trade negativity also seems to be overshadowing Fears too. Hope they can embrace some "MJ/Kobe mindset" and just be absolute dogs

Preseason and summer ball is all about optimism

I’m excited to have a potential franchise PG that we haven’t had in a long time. Also, the trade has happened and we got a really great player. I want Queen to prove the doubters and haters wrong. Let’s get to the playoffs!!

I’d be more excited if Willie Green wasn't the coach. This team is dripping with talent but our coach is absolute dogshit.

After an all time low in care for this team the draft has made me actually excited.

If Willie wasn’t the head coach I would be the most excited in years.

Expecting like 35-40 wins, but I think we can be super fun. If Fears and/or Queen is slightly above average and we stay moderately healthy I can see us making the play in.

Yep I love Dumars doubling down and going after another player they evaluated highly. I like how he talked about momentum, we are the Pels. We can’t just sit back and draft at our slot every year and expect to win, we gotta be aggressive. We’ve had the forwards for years, Dumars went out and grabbed us a lead guard and a versatile big. The picks have to be hits but if they are hits this could be a playoff team soon (assuming the health of Z, TM3 and Herb).

Dripping with talent my arse. Scroll to 26, which is the Pels roster rank post draft:
