This is funny and definitely an element of truth to it, but I still think they did a poor job on the return and the timing was bad. The reason it turned out better than most (including the "experts") anticipated was mostly due to KP having a much more toxic impact on the team than realized. There were other factors like Luka finally getting back to his normal level of play at roughly that time, and Dinwiddie being on a heater for the 20+ games after the trade.
