Exactly. Dude can't have it both ways with the "unknowable." Unlucky is more of the word I would use...unlucky with Odom, unlucky about Joe Johnston, and unlucky that Orlando is now having a mad hatter tea party. But why cry for the rest of the summer? Look at what went right. Lucky Kaman is here for one year, 8 million. Luck Mayo turned down bigger offers to play for Rick. Lucky Indiana overvalued Mahinmi to get Collison and Jones. Lucky to get Brand for 2.1 mil. Lucky that there was a plan B...at all. It may not be exciting like landing Williams, but it certainly looks very smart. Smart is often the best route to take.
