Thats not my argument. It wasnt a good trade and I used to say we should have resigned him because he would still have trade value at this coming up free agency because it wasnt a bad contract
This was my biggest problem with the Ball trade. If the Bulls didn’t want give up higher compensation then why not sit back and let them scramble to get rid of contracts to offer Ball, then wait three days while we decide to match. Don’t think it’s possible they get Derozen either under that scenario.
And who knows, Ball could have got stuck like Lauri M and Hart did begging for an offer when everything dried up or sign a team friendly deal. We may have been able to get Ball back cheaper than what the Bulls paid. We held all the leverage and Griff just caved…..

Yeah, I don't think the entire offseason was a disaster, but the Ball trade was an embarrassment.

Rumors have come out since then that CP3 was taking the Pels offer, right up until Phoenix put the 4th year on the table. That could have had alot to do with them trying to clear that space as quick as possible.
