Message: [QUOTE="JonnyRI, post: 3413296, member: 5228"] As I drink a vodka tonic after another loss (to be fair I would have drank regardless), I read a post that said exactly what I want to see as our starting and featured lineup going forward. Akok Wilson Bouk CV1 Gaff Our best chance to win any given game maybe not. I don’t care. Everyone on the floor can shoot and rebound (and if you say can’t shoot - no worse than the alternative I want off off the floor). Far and away our most athletic lineup. Keeps Akok at the five hence at home on D in the lane vs getting dragged outside. Besides CV1 this is the future. 3-5 is an alleyoop waiting to happen. Do the other 4 all pan out as the future? Maybe not but the present team (aka sub in Josh and AG) is not the answer. Same for Whaley. Maybe contributors but never the guys who will lead us to the promised land. If you clearly aren’t the answer and never will be (yes you Josh Isiah and AG) then time to move on. Accept a lesser role or don’t and find a new home. If our goal is to win championships, and for most of us that is the goal, this is the truth and needs to be accepted. If it might lead to an extra loss this year I don’t care. Being fairly mediocre means nothing to me, I want the long term goal. That’s it. At the expense of short term pain, fine. Badams (as my son and I call him) falls in the middle. At least he might have a lot higher ceiling than you see from the other three. I won’t go into detail into joshs and AGs myriad of drawbacks, if my seven year old knows them all by heart so does the rest of the yard. They are what they are. I need another drink. [/QUOTE]
