TonyR: Ouch. Fair point.
Though I'd say point to Jonte Jones's Finals MVP award last year and Augusto's first-round flameout and say it's not so bad as it looks.
Autumn: No kidding! I can't believe how much we've been afflicted by the injury bug this year. And that's without reporting the nagging injuries that crop up.
WRT to the 1st round picks, thus far it breaks down like this over the next three years:
2022
Miami Heat
Chicago Bulls
Los Angeles Clippers
2023
Toronto Raptors
Dallas Mavericks
2024
Miami Heat
So if our luck holds, we should be able to find some more valuable young pieces over the next few seasons. I'm also firmly convinced that
Vinston Henry is a star in the making and that he'll become the first big free agent signing by us to pan out.
