I hope you mean trade for picks and clear cap space and not trade mediocre for different mediocre.

A player to be drafted later

I think you’re missing the point. All these little ideas and tweaks are pointless. Trying to make a first round loser into a second round loser. Trae isn’t gonna be elite, and the overall talent level on this team is way too low to compete for a ring.

This team doesn’t have potential.

Welcome to reality. We are a minority on this sub.

Porzingis and Holiday being out is way bigger than any of that other stuff. And “a solid run away from MAYBE escaping with a W” you could just as easily say a solid run away from losing by 20+. The Hawks have no chance in a 7 game series against the Celtics. The Hawks aren’t contenders.

Given the circumstances? What circumstances?

At least the Wizards are rebuilding.

It commits a large portion of the teams future salary to a borderline all-star.

Some of y’all can’t wait to screw everything up. Be patient. The Thunder have a bright future. They need to stay away from bad contracts and mediocre veterans. They need to stay flexible and they need to wait for the right time/player.

I think Snyder is a good coach, but what happens when he doesn’t get results with this mediocre roster? This sub might turn on him in the future.

No.

No.

Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic

He has a face for radio.

That’s not even a good excuse. Luka wouldn’t have stayed in Europe.

It was a huge mistake, and not just in hindsight. Schlenk is gone. We need to move on.

They need to be blown up.

I can’t wait to hear the excuses later in the season.

I don’t think he can make Trae 3 inches taller.
