Just goes to show that there can be risk trading for a player, and then there can be RISK trading for a player.

There’s risk trading for a player. Risk that the player you acquire doesn’t perform or doesn’t fit or isn’t available. Also risk that the player you trade blossoms and causes your fan base to live with constant, vocal regret that you didn’t keep him.


There’s risk drafting a player. Marvin Bagley had some great highlights in college!
…but Jokic has done okay for himself.

There’s risk in standing pat. You can miss opportunities to get good players. Or fail to dump players when they have high value.

Maybe these recent moves will pay off. Maybe they won’t. Or maybe we won’t really ever know, because we can’t know what MIGHT have happened if they had held.

All we can do is move forward, and hope for the best.
