It doesn't matter what you paid for a guy!!! How do some people still not get this???

If you want to lower Orlandos grade in the OKC trade, that's fine. But that cost is already spent.

Orlando's current options were a deal like this, lose him for nothing, or overpay him. So THIS deal is good for them and should be graded as such.

I agree, just imagine if Demps simply admitted he screwed up trading for Asik & let him walk rather than compounding the mistake by giving him a big multi-year contract.

GMs are going to make mistakes, good ones realize it & cut their losses.
