If Max has hit it on the head, and that Dion's attitude is causing disruption among the team, and his play isn't compensating for those actions, how is trading him reactionary? Especially if there is a trade to be made that gets equal, complementary value back?
I agree. Dion, or anyone on our short list of young talent, should never be shipped out just to make someone "happy", be it Kyrie, MB, or whoever. But there are too many problems on this team, and they need to start being weeded out one by one.
Dump Dion? No. But consider that maybe it's time to to send him somewhere more built for his skillset and try and get the same back in return? Sounds like someone trying to properly fix their mistake as best they can (ie: Chris Grant).
Believe me, I really wish Dion and Kyrie played well together and that there was no chemistry issue tearing a rift in the team. But it sure sounds like there is. So isn't the solution then to remedy that?
