But it's true that good moves can still happen (despite Cuban) - and they only need 2-3.
However, taking emotions aside, the overall perspective at least for the next season are still good, because there is room for optimism that JB's production can be replaced e.g. by an increased role for Dinwiddie and the return of THJ.
Furthermore, JB's departure has also the positive effect, that the remaining players get more court time and thus their market values probably will increase, so that ultimately our chances to trade for missing pieces increased.
