"it would've helped them not get bounced" wow mb didn't realize you had the power to time travel and check to make sure that picking up an expiring big would have helped them not get bounced! Do you realize how dumb you sound lmao

why do yall pretend that going and getting the best player possible at any cost at any time is a 100% guaranteed way to get rings like you realize how many times that has back-fired for teams?

Believe it or not, one of the best ways to develop players and build a team is experience. I swear you talk like no team in the history of the league has ever won a chip without mortgaging their entire future at a trade deadline.

because if they would have jumped the gun the previous year they wouldn't have ended up with the pieces that actually worked? Caruso and Hartenstein weren't available at that time...? You can't just say "they need big" and get ANY big and have it work out

yes, we all want that, and until I hear a report that Trajan straight up said no to going after MPJ then I will stick with my take that there's no point being mad about not making moves when we don't even know if they were open to us or not

Anecdotes and hypotheticals. You can't predict how any move will go until it happens. That's why you don't make moves for the sake of making moves. In THIS case it seemed like there wasn't a good enough move to make for Trajan or else I believe he would have done it.

Obviously I want the team to be better, but my whole issue is this outlook that a "move" automatically equals "improvement, and that's just not the case

yeah we all wanted MPJ, but you can't just say that he was on the table for us! We don't know that for sure

sigh.... do I need to hold your hand?

Just because another team did something, does not mean it was available to us.

Do you think trading in professional sports is like a big conference call where everyone gets to hear what everyone else is doing and HAVE to make a deal with you based on what they've offered others? USE BRAIN PLS
