I don't know what else to say but the Welsh trade could reach near-Ferry/Harper level futility. Bear with me but this could be the trade that leads to Bron leaving us:
If we were playing well then this wouldn't be an issue as FA's would be interested but since we're not - we could have used that lottery pick (or package it with Sasha to move up) to get a guy like Deron Williams or Felton. Instantly the PG gets solidified. Now you resign Z we could have a ton of money (remember Welsh takes up cap space) to get a top notch SG. Bam tough starting lineup with guys like Luke, Newble, Felton/Williams, and Av off the bench
Now without this draft pick and missing the playoffs. I fear not only will we be able to sign a SG because players will shigh away from signing with a team in turmoil. Even we get a SG (a spot we have two young prospects already) But we still have to fill the PG need. Now this could trigger a Z sign and trade. This could be used to fill the PG spot, but from what I've seen there is nobody in FA we could get to really fill Z shoes. They're either restricted or players already similar to Gooden/AV.
This is going to be a very difficult offseason. Again if we get into the playoffs and have a good showing or get a respected GM/coach, this could be all nil, but this once promising offseason could lead to disaster. Lose Z, no PG, and no good SG. This will lead to mediocrity next year and the eventual loss of Lebron. Gilbert needs to make sure he gets a good GM to take control of this teetering ship
