Well, depending on what that one move might be, it's possible I'd agree with them. 

I just think only a true idiot would consider stripping assets to the extent you mean at this point, when we haven't even be able to see the team on the floor together, or would've reached the point where any type of new contract for Davis is even being considered. I'm just not worried about either of those things at this time. 

For some, simply not trading Davis represents a mistake on that same level. All I'm saying is that I can support waiting until A) you get knocked out by offers or B) you at least see the team enough to wrap your head around what you have. I think that's a SAFER way to go, not a more dangerous one.

See this gets back to the difference between rooting for process vs outcome.  I of course hope they use good process, but I have no way of knowing what their process was other than by the outcome we see.  

For clarification, I'm not worried about them sending out all of their assets in a win now move right now or at the TDL.  I'm worried about the case where we have enough successes the rest of this season with those three guys playing together that the organization has in their head they can compete with the right moves.  Is it possible with good process to navigate that situation correctly?  Yes.  Is it possible this organization will not navigate that situation correctly and greatly delay the long term in a short sighted grab at the short term?  I think the answer is yes.  

For me its about probabilities.  If AD gets traded at the TDL, it will be a clear sign of what direction they are taking.  This organization could still completely screw up the build around Flagg, but I think it will be easier with less chance of failure if they are not constantly juggling win now vs win later decisions.
