DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[Mapka]

Yeah, I guess that's true, but I just don't think you can run your team with that mindset. 

I think the hurdle is to get him to sign. Once you're over that, I think you can relax your balls a little. Not every NBA player is a douche like Harden or AD. Even Lebron never pulled a stunt like that.

I want to believe Giannis is loyal and I hope he is a Buck his entire career.  Jrue's a good move but giving up AD style compensation is an overpay and jeopardizes their long term outlook.  That's a tight rope to balance.

Is it fair to say this is the worst trade (at least on value of the player) since the Brooklyn trade back in the day?

Play-off-Paul may have a word.
