It's just that now, for the first time, Jonas has been linked to trade talks, and the media is starting to lay the soft sell down for if and when it happens.
Doesn't mean we have to make a move for the sake of making a move. I love JV and my first choice has been to fire Casey for a long time. But what I want to happen and what is happening, objectively, are two different things. Jonas is being benched in his fifth season, most recently for a rookie. He hasn't cracked 27 mpg in three seasons or 9.5 field goal attempts per game.
And now we just brought in a guy who will play to every Casey smallball stereotype, which is going to marginalize JV even more.
So if we can get trade value for him, we should go for it, which is what Masai seems to be doing. I disagree with Arthur when he says the return doesn't matter. It does. But it seems clear that JV is on the fringe of the core, and that he is no longer considered untouchable as he was before.
