So not only were WE the ones who were supposed to throw in a pick for the KP to Toronto trade, THEY  were the ones who backed out.  So there is no more debate of "we should have taken this deal", the only debate is if we should have moved on from KP in the first place or if we should have cashed in on Brunson and I think we made the right decision there.  We're paying for the sins of a past management group giving out a max contract to the wrong player (a contract most on this board were ok with aside from the lack of medical protections) and now have to pay for two smaller sins of management from a different team, it's a step forward.

I'm so glad the KP era is over.

Right, so annoying.

Glad you agree.

Yeah. The bottom line for me is that the team will never again have to balance "what is right for the team right now" vs. "what do we have to do to make sure KP is happy" vs. "how do we perpetuate the myth that he's a future star so we can get off of him?"

It's over.

Rick putting KP in the corner and playing a freakin' zone with Boban during the playoffs was simply him going with the first of your three options.

Kidd this year was juggling the last two.

Now it's all over and I'm grateful for that fact.
