The above is my single biggest gripe.
Plus if the first reaction to your offer by someone like Pelinka is whether you are joking and then still proceeds to listen to the proposal, then you have to know it’s not a deal in your favor
BTW I missed this from Stein this morning. Is Nico starstruck or intimidated by Pelinka?
“Both GMs, as detailed in the story, have a close relationship from their years working together when Harrison was at Nike and Pelinka served as Kobe Bryant's agent.
For most of the ensuing weeks trade talks stayed between them and the respective team owners Patrick Dumont and Jeanie Buss.“
Nico and Dumont were over their heads. For Pelinka and Jeanie, it must have been like trying to steal candy from a kid. They probably threw the FRP in there themselves because they felt some shame for fleecing Nico.
