We will never get equal value for Tyreke if we trade him, which is just pure nonsense in the first place. Tyreke's game is designed to be "the guy" on a playoff team. Honestly, passing and shooting is much easier to find around the league than Tyreke's ability to get to the rim and to finish there. His defense is also incredible when he commits to it, and he will once he matures and develops, especially when he is playing in big games.
Tyreke has the intangibles that will make him a star. He has that essential ISO game where he can carry a team on his back when he needs to. He has the defense to lockdown the opposite team's superstar. The only issue is that his role hasn't been defined on the team yet.
You honestly think Tyreke has been the only issue with this team's offense? He used to pound the ball a lot more in the past, sure, but he has already developed and is moving past that trait. The real development is with the team's offense. We are actually running, cutting, passing, getting open.
All you need to do is look at the team assist numbers, even in our most recent losses. Turnovers are still a problem, we don't have lockdown team defense, but offensive flow and assists are up. The assists are up even with Tyreke in the game.
This is a team development, and once Tyreke gets that jumpshot down he will be an all-star in the league, guaranteed. But if you give up on him now or try to alienate him from the team, you're making a huge mistake.
I know it is difficult when we're losing and everybody wants to point fingers, but if we trade Tyreke or destroy his development/confidence by diminishing his role, then we are setting this franchise back another couple of years.
