You're saying that I ''shifted to'' expecting an asset back, when actually I had said back on the first page (before you even posted in this thread) that we would want ''a draft pick, sure'' to Fedupfan, although I also noted that it would probably be one of the none-OKC picks because they have a ton and they'd probably want to keep their own. The expectation of other assets was set before you posted.
The appeal of trading for CP3 is to provide a more stable and consistent environment for growth while also removing some of the more volatile and harmful elements of the current situation, rather than winning now imo.
The team, as it currently is, is rudderless. We have no control. The offense is unfocused, lazy, immature, devoid of style or consistency, and ineffectual. None of that is conducive to providing a good environment to acclimatise rookies to the NBA, or to develop them.
Edit: edited cause I felt like the original post sounded too condescending, which really wasn't the intention.
