You could paint it that way. I don't think "last minute" equates to "panic" but it's possible that some of the scrambling that occurred when SA made the deal a bit worse.
But, I don't think the entire thing was a panic move because they DO need shooting, and they DID need someone to take the role in which Burke seems unable to flourish.
If we're counting MBT mistakes, I'd hit them harder for the Burke signing than I would for this trade (I was a major proponent of it at the time, too). It, too, is a minor inconvenience, because it's such a small dollar amount next season, but I think they believed he would fight with Brunson for a major role, and that is SO not what has happened.
