Welcome Drew Eubanks

Oh believe me, I know Maxime won't. But he absolutely should. Trial by fire. You don't draft a 4-5 year college pro and sit them until they are 25 years old.
Look at last year with GS and Post
Memphis and Wells
Jazz and Flip
Phx with Oso
I dont care if they suck. Eubanks is not winning you any games. Might as well play the guy who has upside.

I have never been a fan of the "process", believing that successful organizations establish a winning culture over all else.

That doesn't mean that one has to suck playing middling vets. One can be bad, by playing the young guys, developing talent and identifying long term pieces. If in the process, you collect Lins and draft one or more high picks, that would be my kind of rebuild.

So, we should either trade away most of our vets for assets (even if we get lesser value in some case), or we pony up, pay the money, and put a winning product on the floor. This concept of letting Val go for cost savings, and then spending on Dennis and Eubanks is something I fail to understand.

The only excuse I'll accept is that not all moves can be or need to be made right away. Scott will deal as opportunities present. That would be a sensible approach rather than a fire sale. These moves are head scratchers though, and don't inspire a lot of confidence.

What the F, somehow we are doing a terrible job at rebuilding and running it back at the same time. I know the team is still in transition but after the promising draft this has taken a weird turn.

Yes, this is for one year, and Saric is also an ender. So, we will have more flexibility next year. However, I would have thought that JV on an ending contract would be relatively easy to move then. Given our reputation, I would also trust trades more than FA to get us desired players. So, JV as an ender would be more valuable than the dollar amount of his contract.

The final year of JV's contract is not guaranteed meaning that his contract can also be made as an ender. The flexibility for next year would have been the same. Kings save about $5M this year though.

Decent 3rd big who can fill in at times as a back up, he will be good for some showtime dunks blocks and has decent antagonizing skills
