The Log Jam of Success

Eric / Mark / Kyle

None of these owners are easy to make a trade with. None. In some instances it is response time per text (RTPT) in Kyle’s case, but for the Kwiatkowski’s it is due to the log jam of success. This success that they have acquired is irrefutable, but the path they have taken to get there poses one large gap. That gap is the trade market. Eric, who seems to be the eager beaver in every tweeted player made available, has almost an impossible time making his team better due to the age/stage of his players. You don’t dangle LBJ, AD, Beal, Harden, Vucevic, Irving, Porzingis, Lowry, Nurkic (TO NAME A FEW) to lower half teams who are looking to stockpile draft picks and young assets. It is both why they are in the playoff hunt and why they can’t make the team any better than it already is. Eric has dangled Robert Williams, Porzingis, AD in a multitude of reported deals but one thing remains the same with each opponents decline “they get hurt to much” or “they are to old to fit my timeline.” This log jam is both celebrated and frustrating for teams trying to improve come playoff time and for Eric this isn’t his first Log Jam season!
