2021 FREE AGENCY: Markkanen wants out of CHI | DAL "definitely interested"

[cow]

I´m sorry.

It´s hard to argue with people that have a certain expectation until 6 PM EST and three hours later do a complete 180.

That´s a stupid debate culture. Why do we exchange arguments for two months, if you completely alter your position within a few hours based on the performance of the front office?

For months the argument was that Nico/Kidd were supposed to be the new dealmakers that could bring in the FAs that Donnie/Carlisle failed to do. The argument was that we need a new 2nd best player AND another starter.

None of the moves have gotten us any closer to those goals.

Now that they apparently failed horribly (so far) by overpaying for bench players early you act like Dallas, the city, is responsible, because it´s Chernobyl 1986.

At best you could argue for patience to see how the TPE and trades play out, but so far the Mavs have had the worst possible off-season.

It's not all bad, it's not all great.  Here's how I see it.

+Dumped Richardson for nothing.
     +Created TPE
     +Moses Brown
+Added two 3/D Players on ok'ish contract.
+Haven't squandered assets (picks) or value contracts (Brunson, DFS, Maxi)
=Overpaid THJ
-Picked up WCS option
-Resigned Boban
