Trade & FA 2024-25:

I do like that we are very aggressive in trying to improve the overall quality of the roster - even if we were to lose out against the Lakers for Klay I like that approach. It would have been too easy to just keep the band together and hope for that internal improvement Nico was referring to. We probably would have done that in the past. But now we are trying on every possible way to get better and better, so I won‘t fault them for trying and even if it doesn’t work out now who knows what Nico will be able to do with the trade exception around the deadline.

I think just the opposite. When you make the finals as a young team with limited assets it makes sense to work around the edges. grimes plus retaining DJJ would have already been improvement (I think Grimes is their best chance to improve starting lineup offense without big drop off on defense). 

And this team has a long history of making big plays for past their prime stars and striking out.
