I hate that the whole 'they're better without trae' becomes a thing.  Not only among fans but non-fans as well.

When Mempis went 20-2 or whatever without ja, these same eggsperts were all "Bwah of course they're not better without Ja.  Thas preposterous."

The reality is, if we can fix the frontcourt, we're pretty close to having the dangerous, winning team we all want.

And I want them to win every night, whoevers playing.  And, when they win, it's not because they're bEtTeR WiThOuT ..... 

I'm very late to this one but fully agree.  I was one of the people on here saying that the record without Ja didn't mean that they were better without him and affirmed my view they were obviously better with him.  I feel the same way about Trae.  (My argument was that you shouldn't use team record to make the case that Ja was better than Trae when you also had Memphis's successful record without Ja at that time.)
