. . . is, in my opinion, the fact that one of our young building blocks for the future is gone.
We've gone from a young team with some promise to a veteran club with a couple of young players. That doesn't bode well for the future - and when you think that we could have had guys like Nate Robinson and Andre Igoudala playing alongside Barbosa, Stoudemire, and JJ a few years down the road, it hurts. I look at our roster now and find it hard to fnd anybody who's still likely to be here two or three years down the road. Heck, I even wonder if we didn't give up on Zarko too early, especially with the advent of the NBDL.
Trading draft picks is never a great idea unless you're getting good young talent in return. They may have to change the name of the Stepien rule to the Sarver rule if things get much worse.
