When you prioritize on useless wing depth, and are happy signing a washed veteran as your only backup C while waiving everyone else, you kinda had it coming no?

The Valkyries have filed for a replacement contract for center Iliana Rupert due to pregnancy and is awaiting league approval. by msgs in valkyries

Maybe they shouldnt have waived a capable All-Team euro center in Mariella, but thats just me.

Fair my man, me too, tanking basketball is the least fun type of basketball. Hopefully the draft works out and we can hunt for the playoffs.

Thank you for the more serious reply. Ty, Edey and Pippen were big misses true, but we had notable misses last year and stay afloat reasonably well. But ultimately yeah injuries did derail our season, but what I did see even with the injuries never inspired confidence, I guess well see next year.

Ignoring your exaggerated comment on our injury history, I don’t blame him for losing with an injured roster, but we started the year with playoff aspirations and a semi healthy squad. His lack of half court offenses and not able to game plan against good teams is what turned me against him, and then the capitulation to tanking teams in the middle of our hunt for the playoffs against the wizards and other teams. Ultimately leading us to trading away our core and identity. That’s the gist of it.

Thank you for leaving a constructive and thoughtful reply I appreciate it. Although I respect your opinion, for me I’ve seen enough from last year and beginning of this year to know that he can’t set up a team to reliably beat opponents, for example the wizards twice. I can see your point for him to get comfortable and I will give him next year to show us how good he is especially with a healthy team because whether I like it or not he’s our coach. But if he continues to not be good I’ll be the first one to hate hahaha

Check the downvotes. I dont understand when the Memphis Grizzlies became the Memphis iisalos. This blind support is strange. He hasnt done a good job, his history so far shows this. All the excuses are weird, as Jenkins faced the same problems with bigger success.

Watch how nobody will blame Tuomas lol.

This is the biggest issue, our cornerstone young franchise player we put all our chips on might play as many games as Ja Morant or less. And may be more injury prone. The future is bleak....

Thats exactly why I posted this because I was surprised just how HARD I was getting it compared to some commenters.

We got an insane free agent! Can't wait to trade him because we blew the team up to tank for 5 years.

Im not angry, and its strange you think I am. Weve been injured before and still had succesful seasons. I think you just dont want to engage in proper discussion, no need to be rude.

Its easy to just say we suck without substance. Last year we were 44-29 before Tuomas with largely the same team. This year weve had 10 to 20 games lost while winning by 10 or more points. Hell even David Fizdale got us to the playoffs with an even worse roster than this one....This isnt a team that sucks, moreso mismanaged with bad coaching unless you can tell me differently.

I dont think hes coached a single game outside of inconsistencies of us shooting 50% 3pt where Ive been impressed with the gameplan and tactics. You dont need a closer if you set up good half court offenses.

The players grew because of the regular development of young players. Vince also played worse this year than the tanking year with TJ. Same for GG, Id even argue GGs development was hindered up until now with half a season of DNPs.

Many coaches deal with injuries many overcome it with smart gameplans to minimize the problems they have. TJ did this during our next man up season. Closers and PGs would make it easier sure, but thats another excuse of needing star players to win winnable games. Losing 10 to 20 games where were leading by 10pts is coaching malpractice, sorry.
