The Cranston Cougars have recently made an exciting trade. Thanks to the brilliance and ingenuity of the Cougars’ general manager, the team has been able to trade its over-the-hill reserve center for a dynamic young point guard thought to be among the ten best in the league. Such a trade can clearly only improve the Cougars’ chances at winning this year’s title.
Which of the following is NOT an assumption on which the argument depends?
The reserve center has seen little playing time this season.
The loss of the reserve center will not psychologically damage other key players on the team.
The dynamic young point will be able to play this season.
The Cougars do not already have the league’s top point guard.
The reserve center was not a crucial piece in a series against the team likely to face the Cougars in a potential title series.
