I’m feeling some Trae fatigue, ngl. It’s just so damn hard to build out a contending roster with him on the squad. Everybody else needs to be able to defend well and shoot the 3. Him being on the roster with such a crazy usage rate really makes us inflexible at every other position. If building an NBA team was a video game we would be playing on hard mode.

Unfortunately, every team in the league is also hunting for players that can hit 3’s and play defense. There are no easy deals for these players. We’ve been stone walled every time we’ve tried to trade for one and flat out failed every time we tried to draft one.

I hope things change soon but as of right now I’m looking at our two first round draft picks this season and our lack of picks in coming seasons and I think if there was a time to blow it up it would be this upcoming trade deadline. Let’s see what happens.
