A pretty harsh take Bubbsy, but not entirely unfounded. He himself would say he needs to be better, but as they say “talk is cheap” and Tree has been on a cold streak for 16 months. What happens between now and the trade deadline is important, because this team isn’t good enough and adding pieces around the perimeter at the expense of the future seems like a really stupid thing to do in my eyes.

I hope he friggin’ nails the next 8 months as it’s an important time for this team. It will define if the “rebuild” stalls in mediocretown or ascends into that next tier that we haven’t been in since 1990 or so.

As for this season, I do agree - as much as this falls on the players, it also falls on the GM. I think Bill Peters is one of the few who don’t share that top level of blame for the current situation.
