We can sit here and blame injuries, the new management, or the new coaching staff all we want, but the fact is that this team is really struggling to win ballgames. True... they had won 5 straight up until yesterday, but they had to pull a few of those out of their butts at the last minute against some pretty bad teams, and they just lost an inexcusable one yesterday afternoon at home against a Pelicans team that had lost 8 in a row. The team played laze basketball for the first 30 minutes, and it was the 2nd half before they decided that they actually cared. Unfortunately, it was too late by then.
So here's the question... the team has nearly $40M in contracts that will expire after next season just by combining Zebo's, Mark's, and Tayshawn's deals. They've then got another $7M expiring between Koufos and Davis. Now that we've got Mark back and Conley is playing the best ball of his career, is it time to make a move? I've been trying to let this thing play out and to give the team a chance to adapt to Joerger's style of play, but I just don't feel like this team's heading anywhere other than a possible 7th/8th seed in the playoffs and an early round exit. If you were GM, would you put something on the bargaining table or keep things in tact?
