You and I don't have to agree, but securing our agreement isn't a hurdle they have to clear. I can dig long form debates over the team's overall approach, but I just don't get how THIS piddly little move, made under the pre-existing and easily attained knowledge that they likely wouldn't even consider something like the Bledsoe thing you describe above, gets people's feathers so up.
If they had held onto that 2nd, they absolutely would have included it in another trade. My strong instinct is that the same people who hate this trade would've hated that one, too. At some point, can't we just enjoy watching the team play with open minds?
Yeah, this constant whining doesn't contribute anything to discussions. It is just getting boring.
People - there was zero cap clearing moves made this TDL. What makes you think any asset was offered for our expirings? Why didn't Memphis, San Antonio and Cleveland move their large expiring contracts for assets? Their players are arguably better than Johnson. Why did they just waive their guys? I sure would like Mavs to use Johnson for an asset but it is quite obvious there was nothing on the table.
