My memory tells me that there were only a few minor changes following that season. I think the head coaching changed fueled a lot of that brief run. I don't think it was going to last. Especially since none of the players like Cam or Hunter really took off. I don't think a team can or will build a team around Trae that will main success. Either you have to get someone that can be a true number one, or you have to deal him. You also have to have the right defensive talent around him. It's a tough hill to climb for a competent ownership, near impossible for a bad one.

Well, no matter if you tank or just do trades, my point is that you have to do more than minor changes. This team is too flawed in its construction. I think they should test Trae's value. Trae has been here forever, but the only notable run this team has had was very brief. How long are people going to have nostalgia for that brief time? JJ is the only player on the roster right now that feels like a long term value. Maybe DJ.

It's not a well built roster. This year was not just some off year. This team has been getting worse for a number of years. This core wasn't very good last year either. Or the year before that. It's time to move on from this roster.

Speaking broadly... Anytime a team doesn't perform well, "the injury bug" is always a built in excuse that is the gone to. This team has been trending downward for years. This roster is poorly built. Even when healthy, it's poorly built. It's a poor team. Healthy or unhealthy.

It's been diminishing returns for years. The question is, how bad will it be next year?

Shit.

They struggle to win games with Trae Young also.

This is not a good team. Healthy or unhealthy. I've given up on them.

This team is f***ed. One of the few times they hired someone halfway competent, they fired him not too long afterwards. This franchise just cannot hire and keep competent people at the top.

People like Ressler are rarely good people. They either don't know basketball or whatever.

Nobody is going to blame Trae if he demands a trade if they rebuild. I have my issues with him, but yeah... I would demand a trade the day after the rebuild trade is made.

Ressler is a snake oil salesman. Most people like him are. I like the posters here more than I like this franchise at this point. With each failed run, a piece of my Fandom for this franchise dies. I'm approaching my mid 40's. I'm too old to give emotional investment to this franchise if they head in that direction. Indifference is setting in at this point.

This franchise no longer deserves any fans if they do this. How could anyone continue to truly care about this franchise at all? Does anybody believe these people are capable of rebuilding a great team anytime in the next decade? lol

If losing Trae and Murray both is the where the team is headed, I'm done. I don't know how they could possibly think this will go over well. If they do this, they'll piss away any fans they've got the last 5-7 years. These people care dangerously dumb.

Dude was overly emotional and just ended up being a stat player.
