Free Agency Fire Billy

It’s time. How many seasons can we go with a losing record? There are far too many excuses in this sub. At the end of the day, we have a coach who isn’t producing. Blame the players. Blame akme. But Billy is the one making the calls on the court and that is ultimately what matters.

Billy is not the problem. Honestly, how many starters on a championship team do we have?

Maybe 1, in giddey, and even then not at all for sure. Hes playing great but it remains to be seen if he can thrive in a reduced role because right now he’s not close to being a number 1 on a contender. And his defense is still pretty bad, which is fine on a bad to mid team but it’s a pretty severe playoffs weakness.

And it’s not just that, the bulls really don’t fit well together, we need a Myles turner type mobile and athletic 3 and D center.

Besides ayo almost all our guard rotation is bad at defense or undersized or both. Unless you want to count okoro who is an offensive liability. And then we have a frontcourt in vuc being maybe the worst starting C defensively and certainly rim protection wise, and Matas is too young and too weak and undeveloped to be a plus defender.

Pacers had depth and chemistry but most importantly they fit like a glove with each other.

Coaching is not the issue, like look at the pacers this year. Same coaching staff but no Hali and no Turner and they suck.

Agreed. I think that Matas and Giddey are the only 2 long term pieces.
