This is why the defenders of this trade throwing shade at the rest of us are embarrassing themselves by deluding themselves into liking it, solely because "there could not have been a better offer"
Maybe as of right now. But that doesn't account for the additional two days of mounting pressure and what could've come of it.

The argument that the market wasn't there is BS. There is never a market until you create one. Leverage teams against each other. Work collaboratively with the player and agent to avoid them working against you. Try and group the trades closer together to avoid discontent. The entire situation was mismanaged.
