The blowback is undoubtedly going to get lumped into the feelings over the Luka trade, so for the first time today I can envision some front office changes happening during this off-season.
It will be interesting to see who goes first, Harrison or Kidd. Or, will they leave together?
I struggle to see any other way of acknowledging this mess to your fan base, at this point.
It was not my intent to connect this injury to the Luka trade. Although of course the consequence of the trade was that they were left with one creator only. Still, it was their choice to play him 40 mpg. Perhaps they would lose a couple of games more in this stretch if they played him 35 mpg, but that looks like a better option now...
