TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[F Gump]

We need a third ball handler though and we’re not trading first rd picks until we have enough for the big trade. Not really any other assets. For all the talk about KP, almost the entire roster is negative contracts. 

I saw Campazzo play at the end of the third quarter yesterday. That might be the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I just turned the TV off.

It's still hard to fathom how they managed to botch the negotiation with Dragic so badly, a player who wanted to be here and wanted to fill the massive gaping hole they had with the defection of JB. And was willing to sign for the absolute minimum. And (considering talent, price, and availability) who was by far the best solution they could have ever imagined.

That continues to be stunning to think about. It says incredibly bad things about the expertise and competence of this front office.
