There are some quality players on the buy out market.

Enough so that you didn't have to trade for a small 37 year old guard who doesn't help your defense or rebounding the two biggest issues come playoff time.

Then you have guys like Austin Rivers who could have helped alleviate some of the outside shooting need off the bench.

Just poor roster construction especially since you have athletic rookie wings who you refuse to develop and play.

The owner thinks the team is a contender and the GM believes the roster is young and talented within their top 11 rotation players.

Now maybe all of that is just smoke screen by them but the fact they literally ignored those two issues of rebounding and defense at the deadline makes me think they truly do believe they are contenders as currently constructed right now.
