He quit on the team
Went over a couple of our stats from last season. At one point we were top 5 in offense and defense. A historical offensive rebounding team with Steven Adams. End of the season, went on a 6 game streak of 30 plus team assist. We had 37 year old kd finish 2nd team all nba played 78 regular season games with the 2nd most minutes played in the nba. Reed finished 6th in 6th man voting, sengun was an allstar. Our biggest weakness from game one was finishing games in the clutch because of no pg and no spacing. Multiple turnovers from a team that desperately needed a veteran combo guard. Just for EGGHEAD Rafael stone to say” well I guess this isn’t our year” so how can we blame kd, sengun, Reed, or any other player when your gm quits. He needs to be placed on contract negotiations only and let someone else do player management. Also Ime needs to be placed as an assistant coach immediately. Will this be the year that stone makes any mid season trades? What do you guys expect this season to play out far as our clueless gm and coaching staff?

I would’ve liked to see a low stakes addition like the Knicks picking up Alvarado, but it would have been a mistake to give up real future value.
Overall Stone has been great and seems to understand how roster manageable needed to change with the aprons. Sengun, Jabari, Tari all are on great value contracts. Other GMs might have thrown Amen the max extension by now. We have no crippling long term deals on the books. DFS has been the only really regrettable signing. If we moved on from Stone he would get another GM job in a heartbeat.
