I guess the problem I have with just saying “aw, shucks” and moving on is that I believe BOTH Brunson and THJ were worth their current contracts. Stupidly, I allowed Cuban’s words to sway me into hoping he’d overspend in order to keep the team together, which, like the situation with the two Antoines back in the day, I felt was the best way to get better fitting talent of a certain quality (through trade) in this new, over-the-cap reality.
With the hindsight we have now, I suppose signing Hardaway wasn’t the smartest move, but not because it was a bad deal for a bad player. And ironically, that deal is one of the team’s only lifelines right now, in the aftermath. Suddenly, he is extremely valuable both on the court and as a trade asset (one of their only ones).
