TRADE: PJ Washington+ 2 2nds To DAL | G. Williams+ Curry+ 2027 FRP (top 2 protected)

If the Kent Bazemore angle is true then that was foolish.

I understand the Porzingis deal and I thought it was a good deal at the time.  Porzingis was an emerging star and those are expensive.  In retrospect, some patience would have been much better.  We have not showed patience as an organization though in 20 years.  There is always some new acquisition or trade that is supposed to save us.  I would like to see more emphasis on player development and stability.  We've been good at that when we've bothered to try.

KP was coming off an All Star season, so the expectation was he would get back to that level. But injuries derailed that hope. He's had ongoing health issues since the original injury. Boston really likes what he brings, but they are currently frustrated with his lack of availability. (currently played in 40 of 55 games, which works out to 22 missed games this season)

My biggest frustration was having to give him a max contract before he even had a practice. 

But that's water under the bridge and I really like the feel of DAL with the two new guys, so I'm cautiously optimistic we are on to something ( I know it's only been 3 games). Really looking forward to getting Exum and DL2 fully healthy after the ASG.
