Trade & FA 2023-24: Vezenkov+Kings Are Done

[youzigizag]

Enough of the jazz stuff.  Go find a Jazz board if you are a fan of them.   I hear they made a trade today.  

This front office does not deserve a lot of faith.  I think we would all like a trade to improve the team.   But it appears even a first and a young player may not be enough for some of the solid, not spectacular guys.  So, we should be opportunistic.   Do a trade now and it is the wrong trade, we may not be able to recover as we would have used several future assets.    So for me a bad trade is a lot worse than no trade.   If you could tell me adding Kuzma or PJ Washington makes a contender than tell me where to sign up.   I don't think either of those trades get us in the top 4 in the west.

The problem with kicking the can down the road is...Luka's timeline is shorter than an infinite road.

At what point do you start putting talent around the kid?  And to silence the negative crowd...why are there suggestions Danny Ainge could put a team around Luka quickly if he acquired Luka?   Why is that a thing...but our FO gets 10 years grace period to do it?   Seems like a fair question to me.

I think I am out on watching Mavs closely after next years TDL.   The Mavs can wait until the summer and have tons of assets finally...but if they get outbid by Houston, OKC, Orlando and use the "next summer" excuse...Im out.  

At some point talent outweighs one trick ponies and you should be looking at all around talent over one or two percentages for a player.
