This actually makes a lot of sense to me.  I think they have decided to build around Trae while doing so in a way that allows them flexibility to pivot IF Trae decides to leave.  The alternatives would be to sell out to keep Trae and if it doesn't work, risk losing him and having a more difficult time recovering OR just moving on from him now.  

I think they want to win with Trae so they've attempted to build around him by putting players in place that compliment him and hopefully will allow growth over the next two years.  In doing so, they are banking on young, talented pieces that fit Trae to be able to gel and take the team to the playoffs and into contention in year 2.  But they are also hedging their bets because they don't have complete control over Trae. So if he leaves, they've constructed the roster in a way that they would just be a PG away from having a good team again.  

Option A:  Put all your eggs in the Trae basket and sell out to please him

Option B:  Trade Trae and put all your eggs in the rebuild basket (but without your own draft picks)

Option C  Build around Trae in a way that allows you to move on from Trae in the easiest manner possible IN CASE Trae decides to leave on his own

I think we both agree Option B is not tenable.  We can debate the merits of Option A and C, but I think it's pretty clear what the organization has chosen.  I'm optimistic that it will work.  

I think this is a good summary.  There is an emphasis to Option C I would add.  The mood doesn’t reflect it but we’ve been told we’re not done making moves.  I think they are scrambling to bring in some seasoned NBA talent from the trade market.  

Is Landry afraid to make a big boy trade?  

Is he walking away from deals because there are legitimately no good options for trading Dre or Capela?

I do agree that we don’t want to make a move we’d regret if Trae walks.  What is holding it up?  Also, are they looking at bigger deals like Lauri where we’d trade several picks?

I don’t think we’re done in any case.

It's over!

Does that mean we’re at 15 now and Bruno is still out there? Niko too I guess but he’s probably 2 Way or stash.

PG: Trae / Bufkin

SG: Bogi / Daniels / Mathews

SF: Hunter / Risacher / Vit

PF: JJ / MoG / Liddell

Cen: Cap / OO / Nance / Zeller

2 Way: Lundy
