Yes, semantics, but c'mon man... Harris for JKidd was a homerun, right? I mean, you trade a young all star PG and picks for an old washed up veteran who quarterbacks his team to a championship. From the outside looking in that deal was a super risky swing for the fences move. At least give me that.
That particular move was made because Dirk was insisting on it.
Not as a swing-for-the-fences analytics play.

Actually, Dameris goes to great lengths to show that a 3+1 will not be a sign of distrust in the organization, but rather is simply the optimal deal as a contractual matter. He mentions that fans are likely to "freak" over it, but that they shouldn't.
Maybe you're already familiar with the contractual analysis and don't buy it, in which case I would be interested in your considered thoughts on the matter.
