On another forum...which I was an active participant in for years ( for several reasons, I no longer post there. I occasionally lurk to see what they are saying)...Dan is getting roasted. Their last talking point is
the Johnson trade.
I am not there. I want to see more of what Dan does. He inherited an awful team and situation. Many say because he was the asst GM he is just as responsible as Fitterer. We do not know that, He is approaching things differently. He told us this would take time. No-one wanted to believe that.
He has to clean up the mess first. He has shown that he is willing to make rational decisions rather than emotional/popular ones. Burns wanted to be paid more than his play said he was worth. Gone. Donte became a cancer...and was not going to be here next year anyway...gone. (Message sent...we want team players...got to build that culture for young players)
When you are the worst team in the league...you cannot expect to win anything...games, trades. He got what he could. Addition by subtraction is a thing.
His first draft was a looking to the future draft.
I will be very interested to see his next draft.
Tepper has to show some patience with Morgan and Canales. I want to give them some time too. I am still believing Dan can build something here. Building from the ground up does not look pretty but it is important. We need a good foundation. I think Dan can do it. And my usual...Tepper needs to stay out of the way.
