“I think 100%, we have to keep our flexibility. We’re looking forward not only this year, but next year, the year after that, and trying to find players that will be with us in two or three years. What does it look like? They are mid-20s, some younger than that… What can they show us in this next season that proves that they should be part of this group in the next year or two after this?”

Herro fits the narrative Sean just mentioned outside of the contract. It looks like he wants to use this year as a bridge year to see what the core should be moving forward and building around that starting next summer. What do you guys think?
This is definitely a “Let’s see what we got” year. Then after that, they’ll adjust accordingly.
He looks not well
Then why not trade mikal for scoot ?
Uh, the wait and see approach again. Doesn’t make sense. This team is currently a long shot to be even a 1st round exit. Once you are stuck in the play in or in the 12th seed with 35 wins that’s instantly not a team that gets on a star list. That’s currently where we are going if we aren’t proactive in upgrading the roster.
If you want to attracts stars in 2024/25, be competitive and take steps towards that goal upgrading your talent but keeping your most valuable assets. If you want to soft rebuild, then keeping this core is fruitless.
People really want to see the team turn around and trade away all of the picks it just acquired (for the 3rd time in 10 years) in a desperate attempt to maybe be a contender?
