I think that describes every message board on the internet. People are results driven and in the age of instant gratification, want those results now.
Is it really that surprising that people want to make big shakeups for players that are perceived to be great so we can form a 'superteam' and stomp the league? I don't think this line of thinking is wrong. Maybe a bit pie in the sky, but I've seen crazier things happen in 2020.
I don't think making a trade 5 games into the season is smart, but it's hard to believe the Mavs won't make a trade this year. The roster is wonky. We have 6 centers with KP/WCS/Powell/Boban/Johnson/Maxi. We have 2 shooting guards in the starting lineup with JRich and THJ. DFS is being played PF when he's definitely a wing.
Dan pointed out in the game summary that RC's rotations are less platoon-ey to get around this weird construction. I don't think it qualifies as being impatient for recognizing deficiencies and try to correct them, and I don't think anyone here is saying to trade everyone tomorrow. If Donnie doesn't at least try to make deals at the TDL then he's not doing his job.

Harden --> Pacers
Oladipo + Turner + pick --> Rockets
All yall are sleeping on Portland. I called it a week ago. CJ+Collins+Simons and whatever picks for Harden+Tucker.
