the pablo trade was really because he deserved to play on a better team tbh. im not mad at all about the trade.
im kind of sour about the JR/shump trade bc i think we couldve gotten more, but while they were playing HERE they looked like a bunch of scrubs. at the time, i think they were both averaging a combined like 18 points or something like that. now they are in a much better situation and are playing better too. well at least JR is. the thing about JR though is that he cant be relied on to be the 2nd option and the rest of the team to just be mediocre. when JR is hot, hes hot, but when hes not, hes really just hurting us. the reason why he played so well a couple of years ago was bc we had guys like novak that could also knock down shots. kind of like his situation in cleveland. when he plays well awesome, but when he doesnt, its overlooked bc of guys like bron, kyrie, etc that are the primary and secondary options. here in ny, when JR was playing bad, we were ****** bc i mean who is our next best player? gallo?
the tyson/felton trade was suspect, BUT it did have potential. tyson didnt wanna be here and felton is a bum. caldo (at the time) looked like a good serviceable pg that could at least bridge the gap between then and when we signed a new floor general. unfortunately, he cant stay on the floor so it kind of back fired and now we have a pg thats just as effective as felton, but with a higher salary and more years on his contract.
