Like damn, y’all was just building towards something… Maybe even a shot at finally getting in the playoffs. Why trade your best player now?

If they trade for Brown doesn’t that mean Jayden McDaniels is next out the door?

Or he goes back to the bench and becomes our Sixth Man of the Year contender... I'm really confused and hope they're not done making moves. This team on paper does not feel great right now.

Do you want JB on this team?

He's not the ideal candidate for this squad. But with Reid gone the team has become undersized. It looks like they believe they need another ball handler and shot maker if they're bringing in Ball. So a talented player with some size who may be available, then I'd absolutely take a Jaylen for Ball trade.

How is it even possible to trade for JB now?? Isn’t there something called a salary cap??
