I'm not sure that i'm on team tank, just yet.
But i've switched sides on what i want for the trade deadline.
Before this week, I was on board with making small moves to help around the edges. Use an asset like Hardy or 2nd rounders to improve spots 7-9.
I would have been open to using a 1st rounder or THJ/Holmes to grab a guy like Grant, Kuzma, Gafford, etc.
But not anymore. A small upgrade will not put this team over the top. Why spend all your available assets on a guy like Grant and lose in the 2nd round vs. keeping this roster and losing in the 1st round.
Our big move needs to come in the off season when we have more draft capital and some of our contracts become more tradeable assets. I cant believe i just said that. But yes. Thats the route.
I'd even be open to becoming a seller if we could. I think its possible that we could have a better on-court product by getting rid of guys like THJ, Williams, Kleber. Maybe Josh Green too.
It wouldn't be selling to make the team worse, but it would be addition by subtraction. Open up more playing time for guys like O-Max, Hardy, Lawson. Maybe we can bring back a few young players when we shed the other guys.
