I kind of liked that phil demanded more. rule one when trading with a division rival: strip them with as many assets as you can get. we are giving up kp who will torch us four times each year for a couple of years until we get better. two picks and brown aren't enough for that.
Jazz-- I think Phil by his own words created expectation. I didn't see another gm in basketball actually go on tv prior to the draft to basically acknowledge that he was going to potentially trade his player. At that point when you realize thT maybe a deal like Jackson Chris Bledsoe might just be more appealing than keeping Kp
Phil set a high price that did not get met.
He said they were taking calls, and perhaps making a few too. Aldridge and Deandre Jordan were also put in play. Its business.
The no show KP did in protest was silly and stupid on his part. Phil sent a message that for the right price nobody is untouchable.
Even a unicorn.
KP has to decide does he want to be part of the problem, or part of the solution. Phil when he coached did pretty good getting guys to come play triangle ball even with Jordan who was not easy to play with. Core is now young.....Nitty, KP and Willy.
Don't get me wrong, some of the deals being put out was great and I was on board with them. Ainge could have KP, Horford and Haywood as a front line? Phil held his ground. Thats a good thing. Ainge held his ground. Not sure that was a good thing.
