Trying to Assess the Mav's Ledger

[WillE]

From WillE:
"Furthermore, JB's departure has also the positive effect, that the remaining players get more court time and thus their market values probably will increase, so that ultimately our chances to trade for missing pieces increased."

That's probably the clearest example of "glass half full" I've ever read.

You're taking this quote out of context, and the fact you do it does tell quite something about you...

But for your understanding: JB's departure is a big loss. Period. Once that is accepted, we have to move forward and since we before agreed that we still had to imorove by trades, that route's chances actually increased. Not the overall roster, but only the probability to add another piece through a trade.

Can you agree on that or still too positive?
