Shake is staying, that kid is on a dirt cheap long term contract and balled out this season. Basically had no considerable experience in the NBA prior to this season too.
And he's an absolute sharpshooter. Gotta get stronger and focus on a few weaknesses but all in all he's gonna be legit. Just isn't a full time PG right now because he needs to get stronger facing up against physical defense. Also needs to improve defensively of course. As a shooter though he'l was one of the best in the league this season in terms of 3pt efficiency.
Thybulle should work on his three this off-season and come back as a more capable offensive player etc.
These young guys are promising for sure, they can't be blamed in the playoffs when they're performing more than guys on $100M+ contracts.
Yeah this was an overreaction lol. I do like Milton, Thybulle, Burks moving forward. Tobias was absolutely brutal this series, but I dont actually want them to try and move on from him (though many fans do). It was a bad string of games, it happens.
Things appeared a lot worse than they actually are without Ben, but the sweep was just so disheartening.
If they try to move Horford, which will be very difficult..I think it would take either Milton/Thybulle/Draft assets, or something of solid value. I know multiple teams do salary dumps every year, but the fact that there's 3 years left on Horfords deal makes this really tough. Or, do they just try and move forward with him and let the next coach try to figure it out
