I very much am. I think that, because you have been the most vocal about your distaste for the trade (by a large margin) and you have so often attempted to point out that Dinwiddie could've been had over the summer without giving up Porzingis (which we actually don't know) you must view his departure as some sort of significant loss.
Am I wrong to think so?

Yeah, I got it. I just don't think it's that simple. If the team was playing a style of defense that won't work in the playoffs in order to achieve those numbers (which, in my strongly held opinion, they were) does this even matter?

I wish we had dumped KP in the offseason when we would have had more options to the hole left in our frontcourt. Not sure it is necessary to jump on a post just because it says something mildly positive about KP.
I can get behind this.
At the previous trade deadline would've been even better, but this helps me see where you're coming from.
