HALLELUKA: Luka Clinches All-NBA 1st team. 4th in 5 years

[Kammrath]

The effort to trade JB for #10 that summer corresponds to your scenario as well.  I think the other place they got outmaneuvered was the mistaken belief NY would need to deal with Dallas in a S&T.  The business of what we offered or whether we offered is just window dressing to save some PR face.  In the end, JB was gone either way.

It wouldn’t have been some massive asset, but there are some NY assets that would have come in handy right about now.  Since NY trades are the topic of the day, the other thing I’d mention is it appeared to me that Cuban tried to be ‘less childish’ than usual through this process.  Not saying he nailed it, but CAA is a massive agency and you never know when you might want to revisit trading for some of the people you were targeting in a Brunson S&T.  So, whether he was coached to grow up a little or figured it out on his own, I thought it was important that he didn’t throw his usual tantrum.

Great thoughts.



Now back to Luka on this thread.... which is my fault....
