They just describe the current situation which is not good, but i don't see it as pessimistic view. It's just facts:
- If you want use significant cap space on a new player, THJ can not be signed.
- If JRich opts in, you need to get rid of him to get near max cap space.
- Brunson/DSJ need to be extended/traded or you risk losing them for nothing as UFA next offseason.
They do not speculate much on the trade market. A trade can change the situation significantly.
