    A lot of stuff in that assessment has been bandied about a lot around here. Abeer will disagree with a lot of it tho. He's going to say " It was mostly Magic and Westbrook!"

    The front office did do a good job this offseason though. Any other team would be praised for those moves.

    Rob didn’t know the cap right before we won a ring, so yeah, media opinions on these things are crucial and accurate.

    sources indicate luka wanted a 5-year vet min, but d****** pelinka steered him into the current deal instead, after chris paul declined the (illegal and impossible) maximum contract rob offered two days ago before the clippers' much wiser management team sold paul on a vision and tradition of excellence.

    look, when you know nothing of the cap, professional basketball, or basic human decency and just collect checks while trying to make the team worse, weird things happen.

    I don't have any opinion on this guy, but I don't trust anything that Nico did or any media that came out from that time. Clean slate for me, let's see what happens.

    The article says

    “He was with the Mavericks organization for over ten years.”

    wasn’t that before Nico?
