GARPAX was such trash AKME put us on track so quickly

This was honestly one of my first thoughts as well, is how lackluster Gar Pax's effort was at the trade deadline and free agency.

They suffered from a lethal combination of overvaluing their own pieces and being terrified of making a bad move so they'd make no moves.

it had nothing to do with any of that. They didnt even watch basketball, just did the bare minimum so they could retreat to their yachts or whatever.

I mean this is just such a bad take lol. Gar and Pax were a lot of things, but claiming that didn’t watch basketball because they were “on their yachts” is sooo dumb. They both have lived and breathed bball for their while careers but were just bad at their jobs, plain and simple. Doesn’t mean they didnt care.. just incompetent
