I feel Ujiri's sole purpose with all the moves he has made this off season is to be fiscally responsible and to get us no further over the cap than we need to be and below if possible. As I have mentioned in previous posts he is filling in the holes in this roster with bargain basement contracts.If Your Uncle Jack Helped You Off An Elephant, Would You Help Your Uncle Jack Off An Elephant?

Ya I really think this season isn't a part of Ujiri's plans. I feel like he's in a position where he has to wait to be in a better state financially before he can even consider his plan for building a contender. I think the next couple seasons will be a lot more of "Who's worth keeping" instead of being part of his master plan.

I also think this is why he wants no long term deals. He'll sign(or trade for) young prospects, see if there is anyone who fits longterm and then when Rudy comes off the books, try to build a contender through the assets he's picked up, that he's decided are worth keeping and through FA.

[QUOTEI think Hansbrough is going to surprise a lot of people this year.[/QUOTE]
I agree. He and Valenciunas would be a great combo. Unfortunately, D. J. Augustin could not make an entry pass to save his life, cannot see over taller defenders, does not have the strength to fight through screens, and does not know how to make a left-handed layup. He is fair to middling on the fast break. I had hoped Hansbrough was well rid of this guy.

Interesting insights into Augustins game. Could it perhaps benefit his game, knowing that Indiana plays more of a half court offense, where as the Raptors are hoping to be a bit more 'athletic' in their approach?
Casey really isn't a good enough coach to draw up half court plays, so they'll have to rely a lot on their athleticism and get moving on the fast break. I think DJ could flourish in a system like this.

The only way I would support a season of tanking is if Gay were to get injured and this team slid. Just like how David Robinson got injured the year Duncan was drafted. They became into contenders, the year after. Although I think it is despicable to wish an injury on players, it would be a fast track into being relevant. I don't like the fire sale mentality. I think we have some good pieces.
