To me it's like Ainge trading Pierce and KG to the Nets to start the rebuild. You know the window of winning a Championship with this roster has closed. You know you're just facing a steady decline from here on out for the next few years. If you're the Wolves, Suns or Hornets and havent been to the playoffs in a decade maybe eeking out an 7 seed and a 1st round bounce is maybe exciting, but when you've seen the mountaintop it's just a bummer. The Mavs getting bounced in the 1st round in 2013 or 2014 didn't feel particularly amazing or uplifting to me. If the goal is to contend for rings, what are you waiting on?
