Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[khaled1987]

Good point. However, I was comparing the fact Philly signed both to max deals, regardless of age and injury history in a attempt to win it all.. It's looking like a very bad decision. I also was referencing a post a few pages back by Khalid 1987 saying if you're more concerned about paying out big contracts, you aren't concerned about winning.

And it is still the case. 
Mismanagement happens while you try to win, happens while you try to save money, injuries happen and ruin careers. You take the risks and you live with it.
The question in play, in my reply, is that Luka trade doesn't really sound like a win now move, that this was the excuse they had to announce, almost like 95% of trades. 

I fail to see how the Embiid example is related to the "motive" of the trade, not when AD himself is closer to Embiid in terms of height, injuries, age while actually being the inferior player when healthy.
