If you didn’t read that discussion, I can’t help you other than to tell you to go back and read what has already been said. Makes no sense to go through it again to me at least (sorry, I just have little energy to do that research and work to copy and paste for you, I hope this is not coming off as harsh cause I’m not intending it to be).
Read them all.
This is not the same exercise. We have more complete information now then we did then. We can complain that the Mavs didn’t sign Lowry, Lonzo, CP3, or Connelly, but now we know that none of them were truly available. I was in favor of pursuing Lonzo, but now I see he had already picked Chicago so I have to pivot. I liked Powell but he already had a deal lined up to return to Portland. It looks like Fournier and Kemba were available, but I don’t like either of them on the Mavs, so I have to be ok with THJ.
What I’m attempting to do is have a conversation where we stop going through the same exercise from the last several months where we had complete information; I’m trying to have a new conversation with complete information where instead of complaining about our pipe dreams that had ZERO chance of happening, we discuss possible plan B’s that we would have liked more.
Let’s imagine we’re in the War room, it’s 5:01pm on Monday, we get off the phone with the agents of the top 4 FA PGs and they are going elsewhere, what do we do?
Sounds like a lot of people here would have quit their GM jobs then and there because they failed at Plan A.
