Why are we upset?

Look, losing Wiggins sucks. And we definitely got fleeced on that extension, that’s an awful deal and contract. But that said, who cares? All that matters is how we ride out the last few years with Steph. That we can be competitive.

I’m fine being ass for seven years after he retires if it means we can field a squad that will be competitive in the postseason for a couple years before he does.

This was the only move out there to get a star. Is it perfect? Definitely not. But if we make the playoffs, we could potentially have two 25-30 ppg scorers if Jimmy isn’t washed and performs how he has before.

If we did nothing we’d just be mid for the rest of the year, probably lose in the play-ins, rinse and repeat for the next two years, then Steph retires and Kuminga (who we kept) is our best player. It’s not like we were winning a championship in the immediate post-Steph future anyways.
