Bumping this for early season thoughts.
I'm standing by an A.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

That shouldn't matter in my opinion. If you have a regressing player, you sell high. That's what we did. It doesn't really matter if your teammates are young or old. What matters is their performance.

Of course it matters. If you lose a player like Durant because you traded away a respected veteran piece then you made a bad move even if you win the trade. Again, I'm not inclined to believe Durant, but if I was (and if I thought he was referring specifically top this move) then I'd say it was a horrible decision. There's a reason guys like LeBron and dirk have had some say in front office decisions.

If your supposed 'leader' still needs father figures around him in his 9th season, there's something wron with him and not the front office. Presti has to make sure this team is good going forward and can't keep declining players because Durant needs leadership. That's ridiculous.
