I was a big proponent for Kemba. Didn't really believe your assertions. You called it with such accuracy you might as well call yourself Nostradamus. Big props.
Thanks for the props. But honestly I was just reading the tea leaves and playing the statistical odds with players of his type, minutes load, and injury history. It could have gone another way, but I felt like it was a 70+% chance that it turned out the way that it has.
And I know for a fact that I am NOT in any way smarter than folks in NBA front offices, so that is why I kept pushing so hard the idea that the Mavs were smoke screening with Kemba and didn't REALLY want him. But.....now that everything about the front office dysfunction has come out, I am not surprised anymore they pursued such a risky path. I just was giving the Mavs front office way too much benefit of the doubt in recent years.
