Julie Donovan, you said it exactly right.

He's not going to coach with just development in mind.

He's going to coach with winning in mind.

But whether or not they could pull it off, I definitely have questions about that with this group.

Right.

I think if you want to keep adding on, too, Gershon Yabusele, going to get him from the Knicks was a confusing move.

Nick Richards, you flip Usmani Jain, who's now had multiple really strong games for the Bucs.

He's a 22-year-old forward that would make a ton of sense for this philosophy they've had of adding these former lottery picks who haven't had a chance.

They flip him for Nick Richards because they needed center depth, I guess.

But also, why do you need the center depth if...

You know, if your plan here is to go for draft picks, is to go for just development and rebuilding.

So it's when, you know, the question is, that's why I kind of brought it up earlier, right?

There still needs to be a lot set in stone this offseason of like, what is the plan here?

Because did they change up the whole roster?

Yes.

Did they take a big step?

Like, did they take a...

step backward I still think yes they took a step backward and they added some second round picks which I know a lot of people joke about but I do think in today's league like we see them packaged in all these deals and stuff so you can make something of second round picks so in a way like they did take this small step back but was it a big enough step back

Like, we're going to find that out over the next handful of games.

And we're also going to find that out in the offseason when, hey, are they just going to start sending a message like, well, actually, next season, though, we want to get back.
