    Yeah, that quote is a massive lack of self awareness. I’m sure Pack will find a way to spin it though.

      Y’all don’t never post the full statement from players, why is that? Lol


      “I mean, it’s transparent. It’s out there. It’s glaring, in terms of the pieces that we need in order to be at that next level,” Irving said… “I’m going to continue to reiterate it. We’re going to do the best with the guys that we have in our locker room now, and we’ll worry about all the other stuff, in terms of moving pieces and everything else, as an organization down the line in the summer.

      “It’s just something that we signed up for. We knew what we were coming into at the beginning of this season. Guys were going down left and right. [Garrett Temple] is out, [DeAndre Jordan] just got hurt tonight, Wilson [Chandler] is coming back. We’ve got complimentary young guys as well that have done a great job the last three years.

      “Collectively, I feel like we have great pieces, but it’s pretty glaring we need one more piece or two more pieces that will compliment myself, [Kevin Durant], DJ, GT, Spence [Dinwiddie], Caris [LeVert], and we’ll see how that evolves.”
      Y’all agree/disagree with what he said?

      He’s not wrong...but he shouldn’t be the one saying it.

        Irving, speaking right after Brooklyn’s 117-106 loss Wednesday to the Sixers, laid out his hopes for offseason additions and it sounds like GM Sean Marks better get working.

        “I mean, it’s transparent. It’s out there. It’s glaring, in terms of the pieces that we need in order to be at that next level,” Irving said. “I’m going to continue to reiterate it. We’re going to do the best with the guys that we have in our locker room now, and we’ll worry about all the other stuff, in terms of moving pieces and everything else, as an organization down the line in the summer. It’s just something that we signed up for.

        “We knew what we were coming into at the beginning of this season. Guys were going down left and right. (Garrett Temple) is out, (DeAndre Jordan) just got hurt (with a dislocated finger on Wednesday), Wilson (Chandler) just came back (from a PED suspension). We've got complimentary young guys, as well, that have done a great job the last three years. Collectively, I feel like we have great pieces, but it's pretty glaring we need one more piece or two more pieces that will compliment myself, KD (Kevin Durant), DJ (DeAndre Jordan), GT (Garrett Temple), Spence (Spencer Dinwiddie), Caris (LeVert), and we'll see how that evolves.”

              If no draft picks are involved i'll take it the only thing I don't like is it took half our cap space.

                He’s not wrong...but he shouldn’t be the one saying it.
                After hearing the full quote and question that was asked, the “glaring hole” he was referencing is KD.

                That being said, he has to be smarter than this and not put **** like this out here because he has to know that it will get twisted apart and spun into a negative from the media(No different than Lebron and what he’s done in the past)especially since he’s not going to get the benefit of the doubt.

                Like I said, he’s not wrong and anyone here that follows the team will know that...he’s just the wrong person to be saying this because it just creates unnecessary issues.

                Too much spin, areobee or am I good? [emoji102][emoji102]

                    He said they need one or two more pieces to complement him, KD, and the rest so he wasn't talking about KD.

                      I think we’re arguing 2 different issues. You’re talking about the delivery of it while I’m talking about the actual message itself.

                      I’m asking y’all if you agree/disagree with the actual quote, not how it was delivered, which I don’t think needs to be addressed because we both know it’s wrong.

                      And I’m sure you know that since you’re boy is notorious for doing that.

                        I'm definitely talking about him saying it publicly and using player's names. Because like you said he's not wrong about the point, but after all the scrutiny his leadership has gone under and how he said he's learned better...clearly he has not. He should've taken lessons from LeBron and just said "we need a ****ing playmaker" and left it at that, lol.

                          We’re on the same page.

                          That’s also why I said he’s the wrong person to be saying it because anything outside of taking responsibility(which he did in one of his other quotes)he’s going to catch heat and while me as a fan will always appreciate a player being honest and keeping it real, it could also be a negative towards you especially if you already have a shaky history of speaking, which he does.

                          I’m justifying his message because as someone who’s watches them regularly, he’s absolutely right. That’s the only part I’m justifying because it’s the truth.

                            Would look much better if he would have left that "moving pieces" bit out of it lol.

                              The only way it would look better is if someone else said it, not him or even KD.
