I just don't get it. So I've personally been against the potential fit of Valanchunas. Like I get, they want a tough physical guy who could bang with Jokic in the post, but I would rather go for a guy like a Walker Kessler or even roll the dice with a guy like Robert Williams, where those guys are just better rim protectors, shop lockers, and have a bit more mobility defensively.

But I think that the two fixes for them have to be a better interior defender and and a better three and D type wing, or at least, you know, wing shooter, wing defender, at least check one of the boxes, if not ideally both. So I guess you could throw in maybe Dorian Finney Smith, though he is, you know, hitting his mid thirties.

He has been playing more like four, 4.5 this year, not quite the, you know, the, the wing stopper that they need, but yeah, I think they need to do something because the status quo is not working. If you look at the record against teams above 500, if you look at the skid they've been on losing eight of 12, I just don't think this group is good enough as constructed.

And unless they're going to tear it all down, which I just reported that they are not planning to. Right. If you are going to keep LeBron and 80 as your core, you got to invest in it and you got to put some draft capital behind it. Otherwise, you're just on the treadmill of mediocrity.

Yeah, well, so I think to go back to the three needs that they've had, those are three needs they identified last season as well. And they have yet to really check any of those boxes. So I even said in the story, I don't think it's realistic for them to check all three of those. You can probably check two at most.

And I think, again, the two that they need to check are the big man and the three and the wing big wing. Like they've just not had that. really player going on almost four years now. But as for the, the offense, a big thing was they shifted the offense more toward LeBron and they had the first like 15 games or so where they ran things through Anthony Davis.

They were very organized and they were running the pretty offensive sets that NBA Twitter loves to break down that JJ Redick has implemented. But then around the 15 game mark, there was a pivot to getting LeBron more involved because at that point, LeBron was posting a career low usage rate. And he at times took shots at the offense and shots at his own role within it.

So I think clearly there was some internal discussion to get LeBron more involved and The issue is LeBron then went on arguably the worst slump of his career, or at least the worst slump since his rookie season. And the offense just fell apart. And I think there's been an acknowledgement, especially dating back to last week with the whole NBA Cup schedule and them having some time off.
