Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 4979026, member: 6979"] i mean - I dont wanna seem coldhearted or unsympathetic to these players - I feel like they could all really use our support and that the onlne critiques do make their impact on their play - for instance, Im sure taylor hears the noise loud and clear...and it is hurting his play ive been thinking lately...we should all be just sending our positive vibes to the players...they need it. but then I remember they are getting paid...and that they can transfer out at any time...and that they have often acted extremely entitled and immature in recent years...as a trend. idk... I think your orange colored assessments are simply pipe dreams, in many ways... some of these guys might make a leap if they stayed...maaaaaybe...but its far from a sure thing if patterson was so good...he should be playing right now...for a team that just got outrebounded 48-29...if he cant help a team like that...i have zero hope for him. taylor and carey are total projects...who have shown severe limitations to their games...yeah they could blow up ...but why wait around for that when the portal is open every offseason? i would prefer to grab 4th and 5th year players that actually are polished basketball players and fill out the roster with those types this isnt 1998 anymore if it was, then yeah, I would be on board with keeping more of these current players. in this era every offseason is a re-build...and there isnt really much there with the current team that would be so devastating to try and re-build...I do want a bunch of the players to come back - brown, jj, westry, copeland, especially. ... but these team needs vets and big bodies that can control the paint and play maturely. NOT PROJECTS. id much rather bring in some 22/23 year olds and fill the roster out like that, if possible. ...(and I do think it is highly possible) this team needs seniors and leaders...im sure they are out there...
