talking about actual trade, in which we get things of value in return so we can avoid situations where we are looking at Royce and Niang as the entirety of our bench. no more trick or treat style giveaway like we did by handing out 3 picks in the AB/Korver deal. i know it's halloween.
We did. We... got... better... players...
4 draft picks can easily get you better bench players who are gonna be here for more than just half season in any trade. way better than this current crap of bradley, davis, niang and morgan for sure. JC can literally announce that he's signing with lakers at this very moment and there's absolutely nothing we can do to salvage it. when you are looking at a bench filled with scrubs while owing your first round/second round draft picks to three other teams, you know you can do better.
He also appears to be besties with the current BYU head coach and former Kentucky player. That guy knows his way around the basketball block.
as long as you don't send idiots like billy king to negotiate these deals you'd be fine, though in my mind DL is very close to that level. "what? the guy is 35 yr old and on last year of his deal? let's give them ten draft picks and call it a day"
He changes things whether he is super involved or not. Management may handle things differently knowing he has different expectations or even just because he is a new person they have to answer to. Example - DL may know how Gail would view a trade or signing or a 50-win season. He may feel pressure to impress the new boss and less likely to stay status quo.
I think some change in these types of these are bound to come with an ownership change. Maybe in a less "conservative" direction, though that's hard to know for sure.
