Trickster still sometimes show very impressive games (though it comes with a lot of bad ones as well) here and there, that to me signals inconsistency resulting from the lack of practice. But with the right environment, coaches and teammates, if their fire can be lit once again, I don't see why they can't be at least tier 1.5 players. Talent alone is useless, they moved out of their team because they didn't want a stricter practice schedule. You just can't be the best, or near the best, at anything if you don't give your fullest. Maybe they care about other things more, which is fine, but with that low motivation I don't see them becoming their team's aces anytime soon. | ||

I've been looking and all I can get is the usual, "Well, they're lazy and don't practice much, therefore they must have left because TSL must have decided to increase the practice hours, and obviously they didn't want to practice that much," but I was under the impression that ST practices more than TSL anyways, so that explanation doesn't make much sense to me. (Phew, that was a long sentence.) | ||

True, but motivation isn't something that can't ever be regained once lost - thats why I think with the right environment, their motivation might return, and so will their abilities. | ||

That is a lot of ifs, especially if we're talking about players who haven't proven to be very reliable (even with a solid guaranteed salary they had in TSL). I think TSL made a much better move to let them go than ST did to pick them up. | ||
