With the declining structure of his deal I agree with you. I don’t think it’s a bad deal at all. I am doing my best to separate the Brunson situation from the rest of the Nico era. The JB situation was a 4 year failure with blame to be laid at several people’s feet; Cuban, Donnie, Rick C, Nico, JB, Rick B, the Rose’s, the NBA that pretends tampering is a thing, and probably an equipment manager or something. The Mavs are the biggest losers in the whole ordeal and that is disturbingly the case way too often over the last decade. But I don’t know that Nico could have saved it and while I bought the Rick Brunson/McMahon story originally I now think it was probably all a crock and this has been in the works for the past year.

KAT, Ant and Gobert.

I haven't followed the situation super closely, but my sense about last year was that he and Houston mutually agreed it was in everyone's best interest for him to stay away from the team. Safer for him, injury wise, and they didn't have a prayer of winning too much. Likely didn't want to, anyway. But, I agree that availability is a huge concern with this player.

But going from sitting out three years to a starting role just seems like a stretch. I just think it's a weird fit all together. Maybe Wall has grown up but he seems way to clownish for that group, especially Lue.

Vanderbilt is good but the rest are either role players or unproven. I wonder how many picks.

Minny is going to be tough! They got Gobert and Kyle Anderson to pair with their young core.
Minny may run a version of their own twin towers, but on offense, KAT can shoot while Gobert can stay inside. Defensively, pick and rolls may be their downfall, but if KAT leans into improving defensively that is a lot of length and versatility defensively they have.

4 first round picks plus Kessler.
What would you offer for Bojan?

Just seems like KAT's contract (ink still wet) is a steep price for a player who will now not be able to create offense due to the paint being off the table for him. Question: was KAT's new deal an extension, or not? Which answer makes him eligible for trade immediately?

They obviously are trying to match our twin towers. Too late...we were first.
