I'm curious, which deals should he have taken?
Well the latest gaff was certainly nickle and diming the Pacers for another pick to sweeten the Hayward for Miles/Mcdermott pot and ending up with a trade exception he won't use because reasons above. I'd be slightly terrified of the Celtics with a decent center. As is, not so much.
Nah, that's not what I'm talking about. Before that.
Well, overall, from having the most "assets" in the league three years ago. He has let Kyrie walk for nothing, Rozier walk for nothing, Horford walk for nothing, Hayward walk for nothing plus a trade exemption I expect to just expire, instead of trading for a piece to complement his two good wings, drafted a bunch of scrubs that have all either been waived or will rot on the bench until they leave.
We''ll never know why he didn't get any value out of all those players but I would suspect its because he wanted to rip off other teams for players he had no control over.
Outside of all those non moves, he had a chance to outbid Toronto for Kawhi. Admittedly that was probably a one year rental but they were in a better place than Toronto and would easily have been the east favorites. I mean, the goal is to win a chip but Danny keeps kicking the can down the road. This trade exemption promising future value is just the latest kick.
So if you feel that this current roster is a desirable end game, than yah, he was wise not to make any moves the last 5 years. Otherwise not so much.
