Willie Cruz, director of athletic performance.

So yeah.

Bench change.

Hashtag Biles promote Willie Cruz.

There you go.

It has a song name as well.

It is.

So one implication of the read struggles, and we're not there yet.

We're talking nine, 10 games.

It's still relatively small in the grand scheme.

But I do think it's interesting that this is happening in the weeks leading up to the trade deadline.

Because we did an episode a few weeks ago, right when trade season unofficially began on the 15th, when everyone around the league became trade eligible.

And

We both made the case for why this was likely to be a relatively quiet window.

And, gun to my head, I still think it will be.

However, I have started to open my mind a little bit.

I still don't think they're doing anything major.

But, you know, if Reid continues to struggle for the 10 or 15 games leading into the trade deadline in early February, like, that's the one spot where you potentially could get a lot of bang for a little buck.

Like...

Just get a high floor role player at the point guard spot that can help you limit turnovers and not get abused defensively to the extent you do with Reed.
