I am not pleased with the Charlotte trade. We have 3 straight years of lottery protected picks and then we lose out. That sucks. I could see lottery protected the first year in 2023, but after that, it should have been top 6 protected the last two years. Of course, this year, they are trying hard to be the top pick in the draft. Unfortunately for them, Detroit has cornered the market on fest.
I guess we can forget about the Charlotte pick.
Toronto is frustrating. They keeping hovering between the 6-8 worst record in the league. We need them to go on a winning streak of about 5-6 games. That would put them damn near playoff contention at this point of the season.
I want no part of Trae. Yes, he is a damn good player. Yes, he can light up the scoreboard. Yes, he is an alley-oop waiting to happen. However, he is inefficient overall, he is a ball hog, and he plays with heroball mentality. Also, he cannot seem to get along well with any other top players on his team. First it was Collins and now it is Murray. Also, he is kind of undersized, so no thank you.
I also do not want Murray back. He burned his bridges here with his post trade comments about the team and the city. Rot in lanta for all I care.
I am more than happy to keep their picks and use them as golden tickets to possible find a draft gem, or trade for a high caliber player that will compliment Wemby and Vassell.
