Trade & FA 2023-24: HOU Targeting Mikal Bridges again!| Mitchell is LAL #1 Target

[KillerLeft]

I think there is a balance to be struck.  If the youngsters don’t develop, they could actually lose value.  I don’t see how a winning team has room for developmental minutes for both OMax and Hardy.

Your post is a good one, but it doesn't fully address my point, which I might not have made clear. 

My take on Marks' point is that teams might not have a CHOICE but to play their O-Max and Hardy types, regardless of whether or not they have "room for developmental minutes" for them. Regardless of whether they're trying to win. My takeaway was to wonder if rookie contracts just flat out won't be traded as much, moving forward. 

Your response, well-reasoned as always, was just kind of your usual outlook, stated again. I agree with it, at least in the old paradigm. I'm wondering if our paradigm needs to shift. 

Marks made it seem, at least to me, that he wouldn't even consider trading those guys. I think the words he used were "you can't."
