Don’t tell me you’re gonna be a pessimist with how this squad is looking.
I just wanted to see the team I spent the whole summer excited about ONE TIME… :mjcry:

But honestly, I’m optimistic. I think we’ll still be really good. Just being objective, we may have swapped our biggest strength (our toughness) for our biggest weakness (spacing and scoring at the 5). My only worry is that, while KAT is really good at spacing and scoring, he’s not the BEST at it. We’re leaning into an identity we MAY not be the best at. When previously, I genuinely believed we could out physical any team we faced fully healthy. We were tough enough to beat teams that were more talented than us. Whether that would have led to a title is unknown but I would have been willing to find out. (Again, I completely understand the circumstances and timing of the trade and generally agree with them. This is just the fan in me complaining)
