"A complete disaster"? Come on. JB is leaving, but we don't even know the details of whether there is a sign and trade or not. JB had the childhood dream of playing for NYK. NYK tampered like crazy to make it happen. That's not on Nico.
Also, the offseason isn't a disaster, it has barely started. McGee is signed. Hardy was drafted. Dragic not signing isn't a disaster because we don't know what is next.
The offseason is an INCOMPLETE right now. So some people aren't jumping to conclusions with very little data. Let's talk once the roster is set, then we can grade the offseason.
So you can disagree with the statement "complete disaster", but it would be hard to argue it has not been disappointing since the Wood trade. The fundamental point of this post was that Folks gave Nico credit for the Wood trade, but when they have shown clear distress over the following moves, the blame has almost entirely been placed on Cuban or the "FO". Nico himself has not be mentioned at all.
I also think there is some wishful thinking regarding the offseason barely started. We have already failed our top priority in retaining Brunson. I don't expect much coming out of a potential S&T other than a TPE that we will never use. We have already made our draft pick and we have already spent all of our available exception money. All that is left is vet mins and potential trades (with very limited assets). I know you have high hopes for monumental trades that will make sense of some of these questionable roster decisions, but count me as wildly skeptical.
