re: JJ Redick Podcast On The Trade To Dallas

quote:

Agreed. Griff should have told Redick if he would be fine going to Dallas. Not just out of no where he found out he be traded there. Gruff should have communicate with Redick throughout. Saying, hey we have an offer for you and it helped out both of us. Not find out through social media that this happened.

Redick kept his word going to camp and trying to play. He told Griff it wouldn’t workout and it would be okay to get traded. Griff on the other hand didnt kept his word.

I know it’s a business and all, but when your boss tells you something then gl behind your back. It’s not a good look

Yep

I’m trying to stick just to what each has said, but if I’m trusting my gut on this, knowing Griff parses his words very deliberately and carefully, I think Griff knows he didn’t communicate to Redick properly and allowed those expectations to set in and he’s trying to spin it into a sort of “gee golly I thought this is something Redick would have been happy with,” but knows that’s bullshite(like does anyone really think Griff thinks Dallas is a true contender? And if you do believe he believes that, what does that say about his judgement?)

He doesn’t specifically say he spoke to Redick about going to a contender as another option, he mentions simply a conversation they had, that isn’t given a specific date, about being part of a contender in one’s career twilight.

Again, if I’m going with my opinion, I think Griff simply took that and used it as a CYA card to layer over a trade he knows he did in betrayal of the expectations he had previously set for Redick.

Maybe that assumption is wrong, but either way Griff needed to have communicated better to avoid this. Either by communicating things in a way that is clear and would avoid being interpreted as hard promises, or by opening the lines up again when the NE deals didn’t materialize to reset expectations.

I had no idea how much pull JJ Redick had in the NBA before this thread

They ain't stupid enough to take a QO. He isn't good enough player to play that card.

Josh Hart would be stupid not to ride zions coattail to fame and eventually competing for titles. Especially if he’s getting fair market value for his play. He’s simply showing gratitude towards his friend JJ but I would bet in private he’s like PEACEEEEE

I don’t know whether it may or may not affect future negotiations, but you don’t go out of your way to post on social media barely vague insinuations of anger on behalf of your colleague if you secretly are like whatever.

You’d just not post and then when asked make a nice statement in defense of him but not attempting to rustle any feathers.

Puts you to where you buyout Redick and still have a reputable front office that a vet won’t talk shite about

the only way this team will have any success is through trades and draft nights. JJ brought very little to this team and got overpaid. Dude can cry a river about it. No ones gonna care about this by this offseason.

You also have to resign guys...

And when you talk about the situations good teams get in where you have your core locked up and are now having to use things like your MLE.

Those are when things like organizational trust and perception can become a factor.

Still too early to say what, if any consequences will come from this.

If in the future we somehow attract high level UFAs due to our success and the potential for a ring, this incident will almost certainly have little to no effect on whether or not we actually get our guy.

To me I think this is probably only a potential short term problem IF this is a one-off occurrence. And hopefully it is.

If this is instead accurately reflective of how Griff does business, it could definitely grow into a bigger reputational problem for the organization.

I hope so too. Redick goes to Dallas and performs. Mavericks go far in the playoffs and he is comfortable with the guys. He likes Dallas and keeps his contract. Which is a win. Only positive thing from this is that Griffin traded him to a contender so there’s rhat

No one actually believes Dallas is a contender this year, not Griff or Dallas

They’re in the playoffs and as long as they perform somewhat in the playoffs. I feel like they believe they are contenders especially with a guy like Doncic.
