It started with a crazy draft night when their only objective was to clear cap space.

they did a great job getting rid of burks, walker, and Noel. Not only for the cap space, but to clear minutes. They even added some future first rounders in getting that done.

the signing of Brunson was putting that cap space to good use. Jalen lacks superstar or probably even all star level talent, but he is a big upgrade at pg. hartenstein was a solid signing, it gives them a different skill set at the 5 spot. Lastly, they bring back Robinson, who is very good at what he does...if only he good develop a baby hook or a reliable 10 footer.

all of the above probably adds up to a B+ off season.

however, I downgrade them to a B to B- for not getting the murray deal done. They should have easily outbid the price Atlanta paid.

they still need to get a Barrett extension done, though plenty of time for that.

big questions now are:

1. will thibs figure it out. His coaching last season was horrific. He needs to figure out how to get quick and obi at least 25 mpg. He needs to see if reddish is a keeper. Maybe with fewer mediocre veterans on hand he can make that happen. There is no league rule that says randle and obi can’t be on the court together.
2. the elephant in the room is randle. Can he regain all star or at least near all star form or will he be the moody mediocrity we saw last season ?
