No one reported, that this would have been the offer.

My point is, that I think the FO already did enough to deserve more credit.

It's just tiring to constantly read so much negativity based on premature conclusions.

You're correct.

But it's also not an insane leap of logic to conjure up a theoretical deal for Kuzma based on the fact that the Mavs had worked out the 2024 FRP deal with the OKC days in advance of the TDL.

The pieces they sent out on the TDL were Grant, Holmes, Seth, and those 2 firsts. 

Grant and Holmes is a money match for Kuz. 2 FRP was Washington's asking price.

Putting it all together we got a pretty big overpay for Kuzma and I think it's justified to critique it.

Thankfully the deals they ended up doing were 10x better in comparison.
