But once you're here, you're here. I certainly respect the dynamics of franchise/team building when a team has over achieved and what to do with that. He doesn't have to add, but going out of his way to trade Coleman and Andersson prematurely to make them worse is a pretty ugly poison pill to insert into a dressing room.
Ride it out ... get that Florida gap tight and see where you are in June.

Trading Andersson isn’t to sewer the season, it’s asset management.
You have to look at the big picture with him. Will be 29 and his play has regressed the last 3 years for whatever reason. Not a player that should be in our long term plans, but likely our best trade chip.
You never know because we don’t know if what we get offered today would be worse in October or March 26. But if his play continues to slip you risk the offers maybe not being as good.
His cap should be easy to absorb for a contender as well. Think having that cost certainty for next season would lead to some good offers.
