If we wait until the offseason and just let everyone walk, we’ll get either nothing or a lot less back even if it’s a sign and trade because they’ll be a year older. Moving Kawhi, PG, and now Harden to various contenders could help us jump-start re-stocking our draft assets.

Obviously we gotta see how it plays out but right now we are under .500 after playing only mid-to-bad teams for the first 7 games of the season. If you project that out over the rest of the schedule when we will actually have to face upper tier teams, we could be several games under .500 at the deadline. If that’s the case, we should just blow it up now–always better to be one year early rather than one year late.
