I also read about Paul and Lowry. I don’t know what to make of it. Was it put out by George and Lue? I don’t want to believe it’s true, but if it is, I am done.

The Geezer Squad cannot compete with the rest of the league. It’s beyond “adding a piece.”

Start trading the Geezers. Accumulate draft picks and rebuild.

Every team must rebuild after a period of time. Players get old. It’s the way the NBA works. Ballmer needs to get with the reality.

And Ty Lue will never play young players. Does anyone believe Lue would have played Lively? I don’t. He would have been sent to the G-League.

It’s gets old to keep hearing the same excuses and copes every year, and I wonder how these fans don’t start to feel silly for saying them. But in the end, the blame really goes to Ballmer for refusing to ever make a change unless his hand is forced, like CP3 did by demanding a trade. If he could just recognize when something’s not working and move on, savvy fans would be spared a lot of heartbreak and aggravation.

We all had the intel years ago and the whispers were fairly loud even then that he might only have a few more good years left. Here we are. One of things about being an old bastard is I’ve had my heart broken too many times hoping and believing a player I love can come back and return to form. Went through this with Bill Walton and more recently with Brandon Roy. One does not have to be a doctor to make this appraisal.

So we’re either going to be strung along with marquee names and “Kawhi is coming back” bullshit for short term business reasons or we can blow it up. Ballmer is the owner so it’s his call.
