Yup. As I've been saying... the Colangelo hire was partially intended to placate the rabblerousers. I'm sure his opinion will matter a lot for future decisions, but nothing changes... tank until the offseason and deal with it then.
The timing was mostly just to build the perception that they had changed course. I guess trading for Ish Smith and signing Elton Brand were nice stop-gap moves, but they know that finishing with the worst record this season is their best move.
Fwiw, I've heard that they have inquired about trading for Teague or Schroeder.
But yeah... pretty funny that the Colangelo hire was met with such hyperbolic "the league is stepping in!!... the tank is over!!" reactionary posts. As expected, they are sticking to the same plan.
A competent GM can have this team in the playoffs pretty quickly.
