Our problems are pretty simple, the solutions are not:

1) Our perimeter defense is a joke
2) We have no center
3) We turn the ball over too much
4) We can't score (Had this problem last year but D made up for it)

I think our PG slot is pretty solid. DJ is developing into a flawed but capable starter and Livingston if he stays healthy is a solid backup

SG we are stuck with Jax, the good, the bad and the ugly. We will get no value in a trade for him so we have to just suck it up there. If henderson is healthy and develops i think he can be a solid backup but i don't ever see him being a quality starter

SF we are very thin at. We have Crash and again that is the good, the bad and the ugly but he does have trade value. I think we need to move him if we are to upgrade the roster . This year Crash is not bringing his A game either and to be honest TT and D Brown are similar type players. I like Crash a lot but he is the only piece we really have anyone wants and we really don't haev any depth here either

PF - Diaw must go - he has a ton of talent and shows it at times but he is lazy, inconsistent and poorly conditioned. Worse yet he is eating up minutes that Thomas and Brown should be getting (Don't get me started on mcguire, if he ever got real minutes where he was scouted out he'd be shut down as bad or worse than last night, one good game means nothing). Anyway if we could package GW and Diaw with a sh!t player thrown in for something really nice in return (A center and some scoring) that would be a cure for all that ails us but it ain't gonna happen. TT needs to start and develop, he will get better with experience and we need to go thru those growing pains. We signed him long term USE HIM

C - What center - we have a Sr Citizen albeit nice guy in Nazzy who can turn it on for short periods of time and have a decent game here and there but he is not starter material, nor is K brown. Nazzy is still a serviceable backup but we have no real center

That's about it, i love our team, have season tickets, take my fam and friends all the time, watch all of the road games, go to the watch parties, etc but this team sucks and there is no way around it. The BEST we can hope for before we get even worse is a 7 / 8 seed and a quick exit from the playoffs and who really cares about that level of mediocrity. We have to build off of DJ, Jax and TT and use GW for trade value as honestly he is a good player but on a good team he is at best a 2nd option and likely a 3rd not a true all star. He got that last year on effort and rebounding and kudos to him for it but he cannot carry a team, look at us last year before the Jax trade,as bad a team or worse than this one. We keep losing close games but if you really watch most of those we were getting our ass kicked, closed it at the end, the other team wakes up and wins.

BTW, Larry brown has served his purpose here and needs to go too. He did a solid job last year but he's lost his fire and this team has too many other flows to win by simply "playing the right way" (Which we are not even doing anyway)
