BRUNSON BURNER: to NYK for 4yrs/$104M (no SnT) | NYK docked 2025 2nd for tampering

[cow]

We lost an asset for nothing again.  These types of moves keep compounding and poor asset management has been a reason why this team was mired in mediocrity for a decade. 

The common thread is an owner who claims to be smarter than anyone else and a fan base that will keep making excuses for mgmt like many are doing today. So why expect any change?  Just don’t act surprised when Luka pulls a KD sooner than later and asks to be outta here.

I don't see a lot of people here making excuses for Cuban and most of the fanbase is too casual to notice or care.  Unless he is embroiled in a much largely controversy or loses his ass on something like cryptocurrency the Mark Cuban factor, much like the Jerry Jones factor, isn't going to change.  Losing Luka might be the best thing for the organization as it might get him to wake up and let someone else completely run the team while he tries to serve all his other domains.  

As it turns out, there was nothing that could be done to salvage the Jalen situation because of all the prior fuck ups.  It sucks and the team is worse for it, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it as I just don't feel that swings our title hopes even if we have even more distance to cover now.
