Desert here...

What's next? We're coming into the season having traded Jaden Akins, having traded an Anas Mahmoud. We would first like to wish them a good luck on their future success. Onto our current roster, we resigned Ross Finch, we brought in some new, young prospects who will one day be very good players in this league. I think the first thing we're going to do is welcome the the new members to this team and into Sun’s culture and we're going to go out and try our very best. It is Ross Finch's team now. Maxwell Lewis will be the second option opposite Ross. It'll be his jon to take the load off on some nights and we're going to ride that out and see where it takes us. Garland will still be responsible for making sure the flow of game and shit attempts are goor. Forbes and and Andy will round out the starting 5 as solid role players. We don't have any expectations this year, but in an ideal sense we would like to make the playoffs and field a competitive team night in and night out. Obviously we are wanting to stay healthy. We would like to build some continuity with our young guys that transcends in to years beyond this season. I don't want to call this a rebuild but rather a reset. We will be under the luxury tax this season. We'll get a chance to just play basketball without huge expectations that comes with fielding an expensive loaded roster with championship expectations. The plan will be to go out and let's just have a little fun playing basketball.

If you had to grade your offseason, what would you give yourself?

Herman is still young. He's coming into his second season and has the luxury to play behind Darius Garland a proven point god in this lead. We just want Cambell to learn as much as possible and give the old guy some rest here and there

I would give myself an A. I think I accomplished everything I wanted to. I reset on our championship push by trading away win now players for prospects. While also resigning Ross Finch. Under the tax, young studs, it's a slam dunk.

Sham Smith, Bulls.com: Despite trading Akins and Mahmoud and resetting, there aren't too many teams in your division who have really cashed in during the presence of a vacuum. With the division collectively securing the worst win loss percentage in preseason as well as the fewest total wins despite having 7 teams. Do you think defending the division crown is doable, and are there any teams you think are in a position to overtake you?

Winning the division after resetting would be a huge win. The Mavs are still young but have a superstar. I think preseason is a misrepresentation of how teams will produce in the season. Bobcats and kings will be better. Heck we went 1-5 and gave up 132 a game. Winning the division is definitely doable but I'm not sure Maxwell is at the level of helping Finch win games.

This is simple, get out. Run, and run far away
