If Ricky's gone it won't matter. If it takes 14-15 years for this team to even think about playoffs again , it's not worth it. Besides, it requires Flip hitting on more picks (because LaVine ain't that fukking special) and the last player that ever developed on that team was KG himself.
@ The bold, you are my dude but the Ricky quotes kill me, he's not a franchise player and his ceiling isn't even close to superstar. For the life of me I cannot understand why you're so high on him, PG is the deepest position in the NBA you lose him and you'll bounce back just fine.
and I still have MAJOR doubts that they even wind up with Wiggins. I'm fully prepared to see Waiters and Bennett and have Flip stutter all through the press conference only answer softball questions (and that's only because I don't know what I'd do if I saw Harrison Barnes hold up another jersey of a team I root for)

always prepping for the worst. Eh, I think you all get Wiggins, seems like it's destined to happen at this point.
But it's not based on anything other than workout settings and makeshift dunk showcases. That's simply not enough to make me think he's gonna be the next big thing at SG. I get the idea, I really do, but it contradicts what Flip says he's trying to do. I can't take what Zach or Flip do seriously if they're blowing it up in the process. This isn't like Philly where people think they're doing the right thing by tanking aggressively. This team simply can't afford to do that. There better be a potential franchise player ready to take over after Ricky departs and LaVine ain't that. Y'all can get moist off his dunks all day. If they're losing by double digits every time he does one, then who cares?
Nah, he shot up the boards because he is 6'6", can dribble and he has the makings of a jumper in conjunction with elite tier athleticism. It's not just about the dunks, he ran some PG for you in the summer league and if he were as unskilled as you make it seem he wouldn't have be able to do that in ANY setting. What Flip is saying is BS, you're not making the playoffs next year with or without Love
at the very least I'm sure fans would show up if you had Air Canada and Light Skinned Levitation out there jumping over dudes left and right. You can sell fans on hope and the LaVine/Wiggins pairing (provided you get him), their development alone would be interesting to watch.
Ricky isn't a franchise player, you're going to need one of those with him around, and
if you give him the max......
but I think your squad will be better in 2-3 years in large part because of LaVine and possibly Wiggins.
