I'd say right now it's about 50/50. The moves that he's made so far could be part of a playoff push but they could just as easily be simple asset accumulation as he starts to turn over the roster. Ujiri is a close to the vest type of guy (which I actually think is quite shrewd), so trying to decipher every single one of his public statements to find clues on which direction the team is going seems pointless. He's never going to plainly lay out his plan for everyone to see. We just need to wait and see what happens.

Butt (pun intended) i did see some workout videos on the front page of youtube a few years back. They were on how to lose weight back there, not sure if the routines worked (it was mostly for women) but they did have a lot of views.

MU and TL did say that they don't expect to win the championship in the next season, so it's safe to say that they are using this next season as an evaluation of the team's current situation. I think that MU and TL will evaluate where this team is at up to the trade deadline. If we are doing exceptionally well (that being playoff bound), I think this will indicate to them that they will retool the roster to hopefully make this a championship caliber team. If we end up being absolute garbage (that being lottery bound), I think this will indicate to MU and TL that they need to rebuild this roster from the bottom up. It makes sense too if you look at the contracts that we have. Amir Johnson, Camby (if we don't end up trading him), Hansbrough, Richardson and Stone all have non-guaranteed/team option contracts for 2014-2015 season. Gay and Fields are expiring contracts in the 2014-2015 season which we can ship to help rebuild our roster. Lowry, and Klieza (if we don't ammesty him) come off the books next season. Val, Ross and Acy (should we decide to keep him) are young prospects we can keep for the rebuild. The only big and long contracts left would be Demar and Novak. So MU can totally gut our roster in the 2014 offseason and 2015 trade deadline to help rebuild this team. I know everyone wants us to rebuild now since the 2014 draft is one of the strongest drafts since the 2004 draft, but I think what MU and TL are doing make sense.
PS. Do correct me if I have make some mistakes about the contracts as I'm not an expert on the topic.Last edited by Blacklash2k4; Wed Jul 10, 2013, 05:38 PM.

* = non guaranteed
Pyscho Ts salary is an estimate based off of tweets suggesting "part of the MLE was used to sign him"
1.) Nothing here is untradeable
2.) Everyone has a specific skillset
3.) Only one of these toys with the notion of "upside"

A poor start followed by a trade-deadline firesale is still an effective tank, without the karma associated with purposefully tanking before the season even starts.
