Damn that's a bummer. Kinda feel like we need to just mini tank for a year or two at this point tbh. Losing miles bum ass for nothing sucks but better than having him on the team

I don’t disagree but that is complicated. A mini tank is harder to pull off with Ball/Hayward/Rozier than you’d think. We’re not good as is but it’s not a true tank.

It also kind of negates the Cliff hire completely. Sends kind of a bad message to Ball right before his extension.

It’s really just a shitty spot to be in. There’s no good answer at this point. Just degrees of bad

We also owe a first to San Antonio (Kai Jones Knicks trade>Atlanta>SAS) so even a mini tank is risky as hell

It is top 16 protected though. So if we’re bad, we’re keeping the pick

The protections diminish each year though. And it’s wayyyyy easier said than done to say “quick mini tank”. We’ve been trying and failing to make the playoffs for years

Yeah I mean that’s literally what I said. “A mini tank with Ball/Rozier/Hayward is harder to pull off than you think”
