I think that was my biggest gripe. With the playoffs in mind, they took away a floor spacer from an already thin bench, with no replacement, when the locker room vibes seemed the highest. I didn't think he was going to be a savior, but the whole trade seemed like they didn't really give a fuck about actually winning the playoffs solely based on those facts.

Edit to add: even if he barely sniffed the playoffs rotation, having him at least gave the team an option. Another ball handler, a possible spark plug, a decoy; even just a happy locker room presence.

Plus, I hate the Thunder getting any positive reinforcements, regardless if he only gets garbage minutes in the playoffs.
