It’s because of poor asset mgmt like this where we keep losing out on chances to get picks or players who might mean something. At least there is a chance there than the empty air we get when an asset walks away for nothing.
Sure as long as Luka is there we will be fun to watch. However treating another poor asset management fiasco as not a big deal by just focusing on the final act and saying let’s not overpay is why Luka will also be moving out in a couple of years.
I wonder what was on the table at the TDL. NY prolly already new they had him, and most of the NBA probably suspected. Maybe there was no value to have in a trade. Without him we don't make it out of the first round. Maybe what we did was the best option given the circumstances.
