I'd probably still do the KD trade but would have just kept hold of Paul instead of giving him up for Beal. Would we have won a championship?

Like Bobster said elsewhere, all kinds of hindsight here. The KD trade was a swing and a miss! The best ability is availability and as far as I know, Bridges has still never missed a game. Plus, giving away all our assets. Even we all knew that was a bad idea. Ishbia's KD at all costs was not smart. That splash hasn't had very many ripples.
A reminder that KD played 75 games last year and all the playoff games since he's been traded for.Superbone wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 3:01 pmAnd we are with KD in the training room?specialsauce wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 2:22 pmI don't miss Bridges or Cam.

Well, here's a reminder that he's not going to play 75 games this year.specialsauce wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 3:28 pmA reminder that KD played 75 games last year and all the playoff games since he's been traded for.Superbone wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 3:01 pmAnd we are with KD in the training room?specialsauce wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2024 2:22 pmI don't miss Bridges or Cam.

I don't miss Bridges or Cam. We weren't getting back to the finals with that roster.
Say they go 1-3 over the next 4 I don't think they'll do another month, I think it's just talk to keep things seeming like they aren't worried. I think Jones and Ishbia can see the Book/Beal redundancy isn't going to work, especially when KD isn't playing.ShelC wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 10:11 amUsually where there's smoke there's fire. I don't understand wanting to wait another month to see how this current team works. While we were 8-1 to start the season, we werent dominating teams like some juggarnaut. KD was bailing us out and we were still shaky at best on both ends. And waiting another month means nothing if one of KD, Beal or Book goes down with some random injury as has been the case.
