They clearly admitted the mistakes moving on from Schröder as quickly as they did. Nique is getting the ball handling duties which was Schröder's role, so Carter is getting Keon's time.
Getting the ball out of the back has been a bit of a problem dating back to when Fox was here and out of the game. Especially when we let Huerter do it (for whatever reason), he'd get easily trapped. I think that is why they brought in traditional points but as Nique is proving you don't exactly need it with the right personnel. If we don't wind up drafting one next season we'll probably bring another one in but hopefully only to play back up and the team will continue its new direction.
Why believe in math when you can believe in conspiracy?If you want to believe that Dallas just happened to organically get the #1 pick, when they had a 1.8% of doing so,...while "coincidentally" it was right after they traded Doncic to the Lakers, be my guest

That's how probabilistic outcomes work sometimes.
Based on post trade deadline and the exit interviews none of the players and you have to assume the entire org seemed happy with going into this season with Monk in that role. Given how it's played out with us in the driver's seat for a real impact player and perennial all star or even better I'm not going to split hairs on this.
Yeah. I would have rather seen Monk, Keon, and Carter all get the full role and playing time opportunity to raise their value and development. Even a player like Monk can still improve with the right stimulus and situation
And if somehow everyone stayed healthy, we were a play in team, and gave Keon 15m plus next year, would we be better off for it?
What if Hunter is good next year? I feel like we're all sleeping on him out of frustration.
Unless they are willing to go big at the two position, there's a decent chance that the high draft pick could create a starting lineup issue. Take AJ or Boozer for example. Would they be willing to try Hunter, Murray, and AJ or Boozer together in a starting lineup? or if not, one of this high priority investments will be coming off the bench
Please explain to me, in detail, why every other team (including the Kings) would go along with the league manipulating the draft to send the #1 pick to a #11 team that just traded away one superstar for another big name star. The teams don't want to see a team like Dallas get a good pick.
Even if teams suspected it, there is very little to nothing they can do without concrete proof. So why go there, if they're making a lot of profit anyways? I sense that you've made up your mind on this, no matter what anybody says. Don't know what to tell you, if you've watched the league close and believe that it's all organic. That's Ok
Did I read somewhere that Keegan's dad thinks he can play the 2? I don't think running three wings is out of the question in today's NBA if we have the right players in the other two spots, which is going to be the bigger question moving forward.
You'd also have to have Ernst & Young in on the deception, or fooled somehow.
Like, that is legitimately an "If this gets out, we're out of business! No fines, no suspensions, no sanctions, we're out of ****ing business!"-level scandal. How big would the payoff have to be?

A Big 5 accounting firm's portfolio in total is worth billions, the NBA gig is probably valued mostly in PR. Silver probably writes them a check; I doubt it's worth going the Arthur Andersen route.
Ok. You believe it's all run organically and above board. I don't. Tim Donaghy was just the tip of the iceberg
The NBA is not paying Ernst & Young billions of dollars. That's insane.
It doesn't require anybody to believe that "it's all run organically and above board." It merely requires people to believe that the NBA couldn't offer EY enough money to make it worth their while to do that. You can maybe pay a referee off, because a referee isn't worth fifty-one billion dollars. EY's not tanking their entire business for a couple of million; they wouldn't even do it for the NBA's entire net worth.
