Failing to lament how dynamically skilled this FO is at botching opportunities should be the natural response of someone who *loves* the Mavs.
I believe he signed a non guaranteed deal with Charlotte? I certainly wasn't riding the sign DSJ bus. I mentioned there were several guys I would have been fine with. I did prefer DSJ to Campazzo, but it wasn't a huge deal for me. Looking back, gambling on a younger player may have been the smarter move. We will see how Campazzo fits in here though.
I am still confused on why there was such a slow movement to signing Campazzo as reports said Kidd and the front office was sold on him months ago. The front office moved fast on the KP trade and it worked out well last year (KP playing well so far this year though), but the rest of their moves seem so deliberate. That can be a good or bad process...depending on results. I would like to get a better understanding on why they appear to move so slow though.
