Even the SAC trade was useful. But the turnaround was started by trading. If the return isn't viable, then you shouldn't make it. To me there are soft issues to consider as well, like locker room chemistry, for example.(02-06-2020, 04:37 PM)ClutchDirk Wrote: Its sad when getting Luka and KP is not enough...
What, did GM job stopped with KP trade? Didn't know that. Everyone agrees Luka and KP were great moves. More or less everything after was subpar.
I've been saying all along this group deserves the time to go through the wars together and see how they respond. I'm frustrated by the recent troubles, but we're missing 40% of our starting rotation and that's taking firepower off the bench and putting it on the floor at the opening tip. Mostly OK with the starters, but we've been losing ground with the bench.
They've had surprising wins (LAL, Bucks, HOU) and head scratching losses (2x NYKs?!) but this is a hell of a lot more fun than the last few years of 52 loss records. TBH, there was nobody available at a price that is palatable worth messing with the team development.
