Still curiouser and curiouser.
This was the second biggest complaint of the summer around here. Just like the biggest, most people rationalized it away very quickly.
I will never, ever, EVER understand how they participated in that series and said "you know, that's a player who can help us." I was looking forward to each and every time he entered during that series because I knew he was an instant advantage for mavs ball movement and spacing.
What I suspect is that their first five options fell through over the summer and then they talked themselves into the whole "three championships in four years" angle.
