      Agree 100%.
      IMO we gave away our best point guard.

        I don't but that whole Danny Granger is out excuse. What are you guys going to say that use this excuse when Granger comes back and we are still getting killed by the elite teams?

          Which is why there's little point in people wanting him back. Augustin is better than he looks right now, too.

            We weren't getting killed by elite teams last season, so idk why we would now--as long as Danny is healthy.

            We can't make predictions when we haven't seen this current team play WITH Granger. We have no way of knowing what to expect, good or bad.

              If we had DC, he'd be miserable coming off the bench, and he wouldn't have made a difference last night. He may not have made much of a difference in any of the other games.

                Does anybody remember how terrible Lou played in his first games for the Pacers? Yet, he started playing a lot better eventually and grew on many of us.

                It's often hard for players to have the confidence they need to play to their potential as they figure out how they fit into a new team's personnel and system. You shouldn't judge our new players on the basis of their first few games.

                  I don't remember that. He hustled, sure. But he SUCKED. Every once in a while he made some positive things happen with his hustle, but his lack of an NBA game did not grow on me. If he didn't have NBA size, none of us would even know his name.
                  Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
                  Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
                  Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
                  Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
                  And life itself, rushing over me
                  Life itself, the wind in black elms,
                  Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

                    The funny thing is, he doesn't even have NBA size. Certainly not even close for a Center.

                      I had a bad feeling when all of our new bench players were all young, unproven guys. Contending teams have experienced and proven guys coming off their bench. Think Sam Perkins being signed in 1998
                      Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel

                        But Green can dunk really well... Don't contending teams normally have that off the bench?

                          Lou didn't get a fair shake here. He is a PF shoved in a C position. Plus him and Tyler tried to do the same thing all the time and just ended up in each others way. Lou's best play came when we was on the floor the same time as West.

                            Fair enough. However, relative to me, he has NBA size!!

                              Those are the exact things we should have done. Many will say that Kaman wouldn't have signed but he only got 1 year from Cuban for 8 mil. We could have offered him a longer deal on a winning team. We were the first team he talked to, we should have at least put an offer on the table.
                              Why do teams tank? Ask a Spurs fan.
