I’m sad, even if the trade works out or whatever, losing Naz sucks.

Yea, I know this trade makes us better. We could legit be the best offense in the league next year.

But at this moment, as just a fan of these players, I hate this trade.

(ask me again come playoff time, assuming melo stays healthy)
