I just can't understand not shopping Doncic open market for a better deal. It makes absolutely no sense to me.

Because if the goal is to win now, you have limited options. If they just wanted a huge package of assets, it would be a different story. It's why the Lakers were able to bend them over so hard because they knew AD was their best option to win now that they could get.

Give him 4 weeks of leading an offense and he'll be out injured for the rest of the season. Dude is made of glass. I'm not saying that in a happy way, the guys body or mindset is ****ed, he has never played an 82 game season. For all his talent he is soft. They will win nothing with him.

AD has won a ring....
 
And yeah, AD is known to get a lot of minor injuries, but he's only had one surgery his entire career back in 2016.

He's not extremely healthy, but the narrative on him is overblown because of the attention Lakers players receive.

I dont really believe this. I just think teams will always feel pressure when they have a top 5 player and the Lakers have looming max cap-space to steal your guy.

I think the most logical explanation is what is reality.

Nico is probably a power hunger FO member who didnt like Doncic much and didnt want to be beholden to him and his demands in the future (because when you have a star like that they probably run the organization more than you do). He sees a 2-3 year window to win and wants to try around the team he built. If it fails, he probably gets fired and moves onto something else outside of being a FO member. If it works he gets to be a genius.

Im just perplexed he didnt push harder to at the very least get Knecht.

It would be a little hard to talk about building a team around defense and then push for Knecht.

Complete list of people in the world who think this was a sensible well-executed trade:
Nico Harrison

I bet Nico retracts first.

To be clear I think the trade makes sense in terms of win now and a team building philosophy. I don't think the Mavs got fair value and should have pushed for more assets to be included.

I've heard multiple people express that sentiment.

Ok I thought you were fully behind this, seeing how you have made several positive comments and few if any critical ones.

I just love the idea of AD in a big lineup with the other players they have. Still think they need another move. Should have pushed for Reaves.
