How about they will become all-stars on a cheaper contract? Perhaps all-star status is better than these fools we call swingmen. |

![]() Taking a knee-jerk reaction to any situation is a recipe to disaster. For far too long this franchise took a reactionary stance. When we needed to get bigger, we traded for J.O.; when we lost Bosh we went out in the press and lambasted the guy etc.
Instead, what we have now, is a guy who understands the value of what I like to call, taking a breath. I'd argue, there very much is a core here that serves as the foundation of a good team. Right away I'd list: Hansborough Amir JV Ross One of DeRozan/Gay We're not starting with a blank slate here. There are good pieces here. Yeah, it would be easy to just trade everyone and say, we'll start with Wiggins (or whoever) but you're going to have to give up some assets as well. What I see Ujiri doing is simply determining, who is a part of that overall core and what do they bring to the table. The last thing I think anyone wants to see, after five years of simply making reactionary trades and moves, is more knee-jerk reaction. Again, this is a bit of breath of fresh air. |

![]() He also said December 15th is a day that things start getting more active since players that were signed in tge summer could be moved. He also said Casey will stay until the end of the season. He doesn't think firing a coach in december/January accomplishes anything. He said he will give him the season and evaluate the growth of the team.

![]() That could be plausible, if the fans didn't end up so disgusted at the product on the court that they abandoned the team and the ratings plummeted. Penny wise and pound foolish. Coach's salary isn't a big cost of business, and there isn't even a year left on his contract. Plus if he makes player moves during the season, those players will have to play under Casey. Yech.

![]() No mixing analogy's. Is it a sinking ship or a train wreck? The fans need to know if they have to brace themselves for collision, or grab the life preservers and hope the life boats have been manned.

Masai could have chosen to " non-answer" about Casey, which would have let him keep Casey in place till the end of the season, or make a move in-season and not limit what he might do. |

Plus, there is nothing to say that a new hire has to be "interim", see SVG,Hollins,Karl etc. |
