We got KP, it failed, and we turned him into SD and Bertans. We traded SD, an undrafted guy we developed, and a FRP for an all-star starter. A few years ago we did something similar with Antoine Walker. He failed here and turned him into the JET who helped us win a championship.

We either win this or we keep trading up.
I don?t really see it as balls. This is who Cuban has been. Business first and is incapable of building a team organically, but only wants the short way to the top, hoping to swoop in on disgruntled talent, which always screws the team out of assets.

I low key hope they can swing a good SnT in the summer. There?s no way you can trust Kyrie who hasn?t done anything meaningful since 2016 who happened to have the greatest player of the last 20 years by his side.
