No we're not.

People do this thing you're doing where you predict where we'd be if we were 100% healthy and everyone else had their same injuries. That's useless.


We were one of the healthier teams in the West this season. Our top 6 or so dudes averaged over 70 games played.


If every team was perfectly healthy this season, we are a play in team at best. This team is nowhere near as good as you're insinuating.


Also, you're purposely miswording it as "rebuilding" when you 100% know that is not what it would be. It's a weak attempt on your part. If you were truly confident in your position, you wouldn't feel the need to misrepresent like you did here.

We have data for when we're healthy.

A top-5 pick isn't likely to change anything unless they're a magician...or surgeon.

I'm not the one talking about how trading for a draft pick unlikely to ever be as good as BI is "raising our ceiling", or how a draft pick in a mid draft is going to replace a top 40-50 player (especially, again, being unlikely to ever be that good).

Effectively, we'd be on the level of BI being injured for a minimum of 2 straight years and pretending we're a better team in that reality.

It's a panic move, plain and simple. Either Griff is trying to buy more time by manufacturing a rebuild, or he's miscalculated severely and lost major value (both in BI's value and deals we could have made at the deadline).
