I understand the frustration and will fully acknowledge that the tear down is far easier than the build up. But I'm ok with what KD has said and done at this point. The gap between the Hawks and the elite teams is enormous and no matter what he does this offseason, they're not going to be cup contenders next year.
So spending on free agents and compromising their cap position to go from a bottom 5 team to a borderline playoff team to me makes little sense at the moment. I like the idea of keeping ample cap space as long as possible so you can use it as a weapon later if spending it won't get you to contender status.
But this won't last forever. I think next year, he's going to need to spend and I hope he knows it. Just why not wait another season, when you won't contend anyway, to see what you have and what you need before going for it? If he sits back next year and talks about being deliberate and calculated, then I'm going to be mad.
