Beal probably retires a Sun.
Durant is probably gone, too.
There is no joy with this team. Ishbia wants to have fun with this business and win. I’m sure he is as disgusted as the rest of us.
I have a friend who's a Nets fan. I remember when they traded everything to get KG and Peirce.
It was a terrible move then and set that franchise back. It is the reason Boston has Tatum and Brown as they are direct results from the Nets picks and while the Nets had a shot when they got KD and Kyrie, the C's look like they will get the last laugh from all of this.
That said, we have now done the same thing. We make a short-sighted trade that eliminates our future. I wasn't opposed to getting KD, but not at the expense it cost us.
If it doesn't work, we're a treadmill team for the next 7 years with nothing to show for it.
This is why trading KD now, while his value is still high (people can say it's not, but I assure you it is), is necessary....because it didn't work and we flamed out in the most spectacular way.
