I have zero expectations that Lucic will be any good this year. The saving grace is that it would be almost impossible to be worse than Neal last year, and we still save a bit of cap space in the process.We were a good team with boat anchor Neal, and we will be a good team with boat anchor Lucic.

The one, tiny sliver of hope I hold on to is how this deal went down: With some apparent desperation on the part of Tre to get rid of Neal, perhaps it was clear that Neal was so toxic to the room going forward that this will be an addition by subtraction. Addition by subtraction isn't usually a great way to improve a team, especially with $5-6M players, but this is where we are at.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
