They are better than their 25-30 record would indicate, but they are not good. Not good enough to contend for a championship, let alone win a round in the playoffs. Not as currently constructed, not right now.
No, the next 5 games could have them at .500 which is currently 8th place in the east. But if Masai is convinced that Freddie an GTJ aren't going to resign for a reasonable amount then trade it must be. Moving OG or pascal would be a mistake at this time, maybe next year.
