When an NBA team drafts a generational prospect, the expectations couldn’t be higher.
It’s one of the most exciting things to happen to a fanbase. When there’s such a prospect in the draft, and your team draws that number one pick, you couldn’t have asked for better luck.
Unless, of course, they’re profoundly injury prone. In that event, you’ll end up feeling snakebitten.
Those same expectations are now contributing to your pain.

Could they trade him this summer?
