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

But if anyone is claiming this played out the way Cuban/Harrison planned, they're just incorrect. There's literally no way that could possibly be true.

Even Skin readily admitted that the Mavs took the risk of trying to trade JB and they failed in getting a deal they thought they could get. It backfired and here we are.

But I think you can recognize that fact while also believing that they do have a back-up plan that they like very much (which Skin also said). 

Let's see if they can execute said back-up plan. 

And since you sort of accused me of being a flip-flopper, let me go on the record that even though I think they CAN go into the season with the roster as is, that I will in fact be in the camp that believes they "failed" this summer if there is no trade that happens before training camp. I think they still will have a chance to recover/improve the roster at the TDL (so hope will not all be lost), but without a trade before training camp I will be in the camp that believes the summer itself was ultimately a failure.
