TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[KillerLeft]

Can you elaborate?

I don't want to call people out, and I'm not talking about you. Anyone who knows you knows that you're going to find a way to see this in a positive light. It's predictable and part of who you are, and therefore somehow less annoying. Plus, you've been one of the last to jump on the Brunson bandwagon, maintaining until very recently that you didn't think he was a fit. I think that's incorrect, but I can respect your conviction on it. 

But there have already been a couple of posts intimating that this won't be so bad, and yes, it will be so bad. This isn't a death sentence for the team, because Luka and DFS won't let them be bad, but man...to imagine the Mavs first not using the cap space of the past few seasons to collect as much talent as we hoped, and now (maybe) losing one of the most significant pieces they have found with no means of replacing him for the next several years? 

That kind of (potential) setback merits a little grief, and I hope people are allowed to deal with it for a day or so.

I still don't believe it's going to happen. I just can't.

Brunson might be an All Star next season. On either team.
