Honestly, for the second prompt, regarding the Trade Deadline, Joseph Weston is just tired, man. He is just so exhausted from everything across the League, that he can only think about resting for some time when the Trade Deadline comes. It feels like so many seasons are all catching up to him at once, and he doesn't know how much longer he can go on like this. He still has some gas in the tank and things are still in a position where he wants to succeed, but the seasons and years of aches are slowly taking their toll. The team is good, the players are wonderful, but it feels like his time is somehow coming to a close and maybe sooner than anyone expected. This is unusual and not something most people might have seen coming, but alas sometimes that is just how things may be in this league and you just have to stick it out.
