There is no other way to say it and as the other poster said it is super annoying for any Mavs fan to even give them a pass on this. This is a loser mentality of thinking which is why other teams always seem to trade away assets and make out like bandits while the Mavs don’t.
If the worst case came to pass and they ended up with nothing I would take that chance over what they got. What they got doesn’t move the needle for the team either short term or long term.
Why just glibly believe them that they would have paid the supermax to Luka if he was fit as a fiddle. I don’t know enough about this ownership to give them a pass on anything. The owner’s and GM’s lack of maturity is also on display post the trade. An incoming player showing more maturity and class than either of them is all one needs to know.
Trying to understand their thinking isn't remotely close to "giving them a pass." They wanted AD. It's as simple as that.
Key word being "they."
Guys, if you want nothing but hate, and won't accept anything else, just skip my posts. I have repeatedly said I wouldn't have made this trade, and I'm as upset as the next guy. Attacking me or others who are attempting to move forward and discuss different viewpoints won't make you less angry and won't bring Luka back.
