@"meistermatze" I have addressed this before, and I fully admit that my take is 100% hindsight. I was all-in on the trade and the extension. Looking back, I wonder why I was all-in on extending a player who had never played a game as a maverick, but it would be revisionist history if I said I was against it at the time.
But yeah, I would have done almost exactly as they have done with Porzingis, except I would have dumped him last year at the deadline (assuming any team would even have had him).
I do agree with those who say he is contributing much more this season, and I am glad to see it. I can also finally envision a world in which some team out there wants to trade for him, so progress is being made regardless of our individual agendas.
