You are criticizing the man, but do you actually think that JB is worth 26M per? That was such a Knick thing to do! We will never know if the Mavs would have paid up to preserve the asset, (which is what MC said he was going to do), but for them, it was only money. The Knicks used 28M in capspace on a non-star player. JB is a good player. Even a very good player. He doesn't make that team a contender and they will continue on the mediocre treadmill because of it (and other Knick moves, including a strangely fitted roster). I wish him well, but he won't win like the Mavs will. He is set to be the highest paid player on that team, and JB should not be any team's best player. Not a knock on him. He just isn't a star. I think that is perfectly reasonable conclusion for anyone to come to, and you are fine if you want to make the case otherwise.
