Not one person, unless I missed it. So, it seems silly to carpet bomb "this board" with that "I told you so" style jab, since the 3-4 people who defended Green to the end all seem to be gone.
And honestly, the only thing we (speaking for myself, and, I believe, most of "this board") really regret about moving Green to Charlotte is that it kind of appears that Dan has gone with him, lol.
My regret is getting Klay Thompson instead of a youth- and useful player.
People always say small moves don´t matter (mostly in regards to the draft), but imagine if we did not secure the "throw away" Grimes from Detroit and pivoted to sign Marshall. We don´t nail Lively and get Washington (and Gafford) everybody would be calling Omax another 1st round draft bust.
Our off-season would be graded on the Cuban scale:
Lost DJJ arguing over peanuts.
Signed old fart Klay Thompson
Signed old fart Spencer Dinwiddie
Re-signed Jaden Hardy
Nepotism drafted Melvin Ajinca
Classic Mark Cuban off-season.
That´s why I was always so hard on the Mavs FO. Every detail matters, cause if you approach every transaction and draft pick with the utmost professionalism, you can make enough good moves to overshadow the bad moves. In that case you will also earn the benefit of the doubt that maybe our FO really thinks Ajinca was the best prospect at #52 and not just the French brother of Satnam Singh and a favour to the nephew of former Maverick Alex Ajinca.
