Trade & FA 2024-25:

[michaeltex]

I would have never made the trade knowing then what I know now. Though that type of hindsight is worthless because if Donnie was that worried about those risks he should've never made the trade in the first place.

IMO, Donnie got a stiffie thinking about paring, what was projected as, two perennial All NBA Euros and was willing to take a chance he might not have normally taken. 

I mean this was the same MBT that screwed up the Nash re-sign, lost control of the DAJ signing (and way overpaid for Matthews), gave Chandler Parsons a max contract and was caught at the dinner table when FA season blew up in the opening hours.

So with the instant brilliance of Luka, he went for the hero shot and signed a KP who had not even had a practice in over a year, then gave him a max extension before even seeing a workout.

Hindsight is indeed 20:20, but I've always felt like someone should have given the MBT a 3 Stooges slap before making the final call.
