Here is a good starting point: I finally have time to read it, and it actually is quite misleading. First half of it involved about how the return of trade is not that bad. I didn't touch the part because it is subjective. How could we know DSJ is absolutely not next MJ except we have a time machine? When I said it can't be the best deal not because the content but because the timing, the size of the deal, and the (lack of) nubmer of potential buyers. It used a lot of time to convince people the deal is good, but is it necessary related to this topic? For instance, would Mav give more if the deal is July? The value of what we got traded to Mav could only raise and we no longer would have to take what they gave us. (expiring contracts) If Cuban wanted KP sitting at home now of course he would not mind if Knicks would do the same then trade him to Mav at July. Why so hurry? The second part again are pretty misleading(imo it is called dishonest) The author first insisted THJr and Lee has got to be traded in the SAME deal then one by one why no team would take the exact deal Mav would take. Hello?? is it very hard to understand? Of course they wouldn't becasue they are NOT mav. Different team need different things. First, there is no reason we have to deal THJr and Lee now other than caps. People are funny. They have been screaming to sky all the years "Thanks god!! Phil is gone. Finally we build the team the right way!!" then after 10-43 (worse than 17-65)and KP got traded then people start talking how awesome KD and Kyrie together could be. Hello?? Where is the proper way to build a team? Where is the tanking idea? So suddenly Big-Three Round 2 again? Sean Marks traded his caps for picks, and Steve Mills traded his franchise player for caps, and he got praised. We don't have to trade THJr and Lee to make the deal of KP happen. They are seperate. There are a whole lot of teams would want KP but would not take caps. For example, how about 4 picks from Boston, or any other team? I do not say 4 picks are better but if you limit what your buyers could pay you of course you limit the number of your buyers. Day by day it is clearer why the deal has been that way. Mills wanted KP gone, not to max the return. He had to do it secretly becaus he didn't want to give time to KP camp. Mills would not want to repeat what Phil has done wrong. QO is not a very strong weapon for a ACL injured player who haven't been played a game for a year. There are a lot of teams would take the risk, and at worst they could do S/T to get something in return. All in all, there is no reason Mills used KP to fix his mistake. Oh, I forgot to mention why I didn't give your a potential deal to argue about. The author is exactly telling you why. No matter what deal has been put before him, he is still able to tear it apart. If the deal is good, he says another team would not do it. If the deal is bad, he say he like Mills' deal better. If the team has space but not picks, he says he like Mav's picks. If the team has picks but not space, he says that team is not able to take THJr and Lee. If the team has both, then he says that team still would not take KP because QO. This is not intelligence. This is dishonesty. |
