Yeah I mean call me crazy but risking your best perimeter player getting an offer that is potentially more toxic for a couple million a year is totally worth it... especially if you end up paying him a max and still end up having excess cap space the following two years. Have to protect that financial flexibility that you never used ya know.
I agree with a lot of this... I try and be fair with DL/JZ. As @infection has mentioned many times just because we aren't the GM doesn't mean we can't be right when they are wrong on certain things. irrc DL himself questioned his approach the cakk bakkkkng year.
Definitely not saying I'd do a better job, but I think it is fair to criticize these guys for the times they have kinda crossed their arms and said "its good enough". I think that is basically what they did at the deadline and have my reasons for believing so. Not that they wouldn't have taken a no brainer deal if it came across the desk... don't feel like they were out rattling cages.
