Very good point about Manhattan being the new "Heat". I think he's right.

Very good point about the Culture dying when they didn't get Lillard. That was a terrible, unexpected blow. 

The Rozier trade was a disaster, not because Terry has been "blah" but because it became the equivalent of a big free agent signing in the off-season. The org. did not understand the new CBA, they won't say that, they'll say Rozier was their early big free agent signing, but they hamstrung themselves with that trade, Terry has been blah, and they couldn't go whale shopping as a result.

The demarcation line for him though is not drafting McCain. "Something shifted". I don't know. Last year at this time the org. was being lauded for drafting the most "Heat" guy ever in Jaime Jacquez, Jr. Then he got hurt. It's just too early to be writing in and writing off draftees after 13-15 games. You want to talk about something shifting with a bad pick?  Go back to the 2015 draft: taking Justise Winslow at 10 when Devin Booker was available and went 13th.
