Hines should be priority one and him leaving would obviously suck again and again prove how pathetic NIL era has become, but to be optimistic, it can maybe bring us more of our depth from Clark, Parker, Simpkims, and Dar.
I think Hines can be better than Delgado was, but end of day it's a money league. Still, you just got to have the best talent possible.
Clark has been the most important player even with my frustrations late in the year and doubt, but I get it he is the point guard and has shown to be well against middle of the pack to bad teams for us to stay afloat. If Hines leaves, we really need to lock down someone like Parker, even more than Simpkims cause I think Parker can be part of our future even as a role player. I believe he can be better than what Cale was to us and even possibly similar to Rhoden one of my favorite Pirates in recent years.
We also should try to get big on another transfer as well. But we really need better shooting or a really good wing or guard who is really great a s a three level scorer. The thing, ASM, Clark and Simpkims just didn't have is elite three level scoring. Having someone who could be a threat like Powell, Whitehead, or even Desi was with us, could've helped us win games this season, even with our poor shooting.
