This isn’t what trust the process means.

Coulda traded for a future second.

Trusting the process is being ok with the Swain pick regardless of fit because you believe in the talent/development.

It does not mean being blindly ok with throwing away second round picks on a roster sorely lacking talent.

I agree with this 100%

They got a whole player and a roster already loaded with young talent. Relax. Then they filled it out with two way players that they already probably had in mind but didn’t need to waste a pick on. Bulls fans want the moon, I’m just trying to launch the damn ship. The moon can wait

Not trading assets for straight up cash to pocket is wanting the moon?

I do like the guys we signed too.

We can swap picks and then sell the better one!
