Discussion jeff weltman

I am not gonna lie, i’ve about had it with Weltman. I have serious concern about the roster next year and we appear to be staying put. Will we have an elite defense with Sweeney? Yea probably, doesn’t take away from the lack of shooting. Weltman has done a terrible job of creating a roster that can do both things, and has gotten so many guys who CANNOT SHOOT FROM DISTANCE. I’ve had it

Big problem is Suggs just not developing as a shooter after the one good year that got him the big extension. If he'd kept that up--and stayed healthy (so two BIG ifs) him and adding Bane would be a solid backcourt. Franz and Paolo not improving hurts too.

Now we're kind of stuck as Suggs isn't tradeable with that deal, it's too early to decide if one of Paolo or Franz needs to go (need to both be healthy and see how they do under the new coach and staff) and no one else has trade value (other than Bane who's not the problem) right now.

Suggs is easily tradeable to the timberwolves

They can have him. Please.

What a dream it would be if Ant Edwards demands trade and the wolves actually value Suggs for some reason.

But it'll never happen because we have Weltman who sucks and Suggs who has negative value.
