And certainly they shouldn't be adding players.
I get that people are frustrated, but there are rationale reasons why it may be a quiet deadline around these parts.

The frustration comes from being told how hard it is to make deals and you see other teams being able to make them. So doesn’t appear to be as hard as we are led to believe.
We have a player who by all accounts wants out on an expiring deal and has a playoff pedigree. That seems like a no brainer. We also have a rh shot c which tend to be on demand around this time of year. But we get told to expect a quiet deadline. With two seemingly tradable assets in a year when we are not making the playoffs. That’s what rubs people the wrong way.
Less than 24 hours left and time left for Brad to make some deals. But the messaging about a quiet deadline and the difficulty in making deals (especially given our current position in the standings) is the source of frustration. We don’t want to hear about how hard Brad tried or how tough the trade market is. It’s like they are building in excuses for inaction when there are opportunities to acquire picks and or prospects.
