So funny. THIS is the move we'd have seen Dallas make this summer (not Durant) if they hadn't won the lottery. 

Not suggesting this, but even now I could make a compelling argument that swapping Grant and PJW would improve synergy on this roster. Grant plays both ends (so does PJ), can shoot (so does PJ, but Grant is better) and can CREATE (PJ cannot). 

Now, with Flagg though, this has almost no appeal. I'm not ready to call Flagg the point forward, but I am way not interested in putting a roadblock between him and the opportunity to grow into that role. 

Cronin should've made the deal last year when Harrison wanted him.

He’s a decent player, but makes too much money. I guess Portland thought he was that “one missing piece” that would put them over the top, so okay to overpay.

Lots of deals like that. Teams get enamored, or desperate, and fiscal restraint flees.

I’m looking at you, Myles Turner!
