Spent four hours on this today, not to mention the untracked legions of time on NYE and before that, so I gotta take a break at this point, reintroduce myself to my family, and come back later to post Dean’s other justifications for the deal from UTA DET CHI perspective and the overall “win-win” philosophy of current NBA GMs (while mentioning the black sheep TOR). TTYL and please be nice in the Comments because Dean and I spent an eternity on this piece!

Someone just mentioned to us the misspelling of Markkanen (correct version has two k’s). Oops! 🤦🏻‍♂️

How about a scenario where Klay is the trade piece instead of CP3 and Wiggs?

Steph, Klay and Dray will not be traded as deemed by Mike Dunleavy Jr and now executed by Steve Kerr in Xs and Os, the moment Dray signed the $100M extension. As I wrote previous on this site, that’s why you don’t see a cultural shift to running more JK P&R.
