Anyone who thinks the Mavs's stance somehow meant they thought he was better than any player on any other team just doesn't have a clue.There were discussions going on out there that had more players involved than the ones who were actually moved. How could you possibly know who was discussed? If you don’t, how could you say this?
I’ll give 2 rumored names that I would add JB in a trade for, Brogdon and Collins. Do you know those weren’t in play in those discussions? Was the cost of Collins both JB AND Maxi, and that was too much for our FO? Do you know? I don’t. Unless you have a sure insider knowledge of the conversations that actually happened, how can you say others don’t have a clue?
