I believe they really wanted Jrue to make it work better this year, but looking at the price Boston paid I dont think you do that for a rental/stopgap solution.I don't think he'd have a big market at all right now. I'd love for someone else to throw some deals out there that make sense.
I've kind of said the only fact pattern that makes sense to me is DA keeping Collins long term and not as some flip.
I don't know that it needs to be a "star" and just waiting and planning on this star trade is a bit silly. The star seems to fix everything. So as soon as DA gets Luka/SGA or whoever then everything fits perfect I guess.
If we planned on Collins long term we should have absolutely gone and got a real pg as some of Collins issues are issues our other players have. We just seem to be playing the weirdest middle game ever. We don't want to fill a hole that might make us a playoff team, but we are also making bets on players like John... but we also didn't acquire a player that might help unlock John's game and help him boost his value.
At this point I think you have to ride with Keyonte but I wouldn't be completely opposed to getting a game managing pg to bolster the bench and run with some of our guys that need to be fed.
However I'm not yet giving up on this year being a non-tanking year. I think Hardy will make it work if JC and Key start shooting and finishing with reasonable efficiency, and we trade out or bench one of Sexton and THT.
