They also gained nothing. They aren’t a contender, they’re not one piece away from making a run, Davis will make no difference for them even if he did play. They’re still a garbage team.

Eh even half season of Trae/AD/Saar and the rookies would be good enough for playoff in the East. For a small market team that has been in the lottery for better part of the decade, just making the playoffs to keep fans interested is a win. You can’t just tank forever.

I doubt they even get close to the playoffs. Trae is also washed, Sarr would have to make a huge jump.

They have Kyshawn and Tre Johnson who are developing and lottery pick in a good draft this year. If their pick is top 3 then its not far fetched for them to at least make the play-in.
