Tree seems like a very strategic thinker and student of the game. He preaches that decisions shouldn’t be made based on emotion or other reactive tendencies. That’s why I’m shocked that this trade happened. Even if Peters wasn’t a fan of Neal, you still got to believe that it could have just been an off year and he would find his game again.
I don’t buy the argument that this trade benefited both teams as Neal would never perform here and we gained a degree of truculence. As of right now, this is a slam dunk acquisition by Holland. Fans trying to spin it any other way are just dead wrong. We lost this trade by a huge margin.
