Personally, I think this is Utah's mistake all over again--fooled by "improvement" and trying to get too good too fast and it will set back the franchise for many years.
In this case it's compounded by the fact that this year and especially next could have changed the course of the franchise. Instead they'll get a career backup and another non-all star to add to their long list of non-allstars.
actually, it may be a repeat of a giant Olshey mistake. The 'feel-good' winning streak in the middle of this season may be as big a mis-reading of the situation as the 'feel-good' playoff series win over the Clippers in 2016 when CP3 and Blake Griffin were injured. Olshey used that as the springboard to his 350M spending spree in the summer of 2016; and that locked the Blazers into pretender mediocrity for the next 5 seasons
obviously it's not exactly the same, and the calculation this time may be much better, but some skepticism is warranted
Yep, that's another great, more 'at-home' example of the getting too far in front of your own skis...
