I don't know that I am comfortable depending on the MBT to respond to deadlines...
Sorry, but Donnie does his best work when other people feel deadlines - thus the KP trade.
Putting Dallas on the clock has not historically produced results - in fact you could present the case that deadlines cause mark to make a mess of the process. It is why Dallas did not draft/keep the pick that would have netted Giannis in the first place. mark felt a deadline to create max cap-space and missed the opportunity to draft a generational talent in order to pursue Dwight Howard. Giannis signing at this point would completely undo the cap space process. We are full in on plan powder and it simply blows up in our face when the winds change and we are left holding a bag of nothing.
