"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.
This is my take as well. I think that the wood trade was BRILLIANT, that the draft night trade to snag Hardy was a very good move - possibly amazing, and that the McGee signing was a solid stroke that filled our glaring need. JB leaving for nothing was disappointing, but he was an UFA and shit happens. I think the damage was done earlier in the process. The one thing that has me scratching my head is the Dragic situation. So, yeah, incomplete pending what the Mavs do to address that situation and whether they can continue to turn some (MORE) ill fitting pieces into better ones via trade. That said, if this were the end of moves, I would be pretty happy and ready to go for the season as a more balanced team. Solid B so far. If you think it was a disaster, you are being dramatic, imo. Maybe just in a grief cycle. I don't like losing an asset for nothing, but we also gained one out of almost thin air, so it balances out. How many of us would have traded a pick just to remove all of those players off our roster with NOTHING coming back? Just to clear roster spots?
