The problem is those front offices are now dysfunctional and cannot be considered rational actors. Their only goals are their jobs and ticket sales, so making the playoffs at the lowest possible salary amount they can is their only goal. What are they going to get out of being 7 seeds? They should have traded now. I trust Danny was trying to get a good deal, but Indy for instance would still be better off taking Bradley + Amir + Yabu + BK 18 instead of another year of disgruntled PG13 who will then leave for nothing at the end of his contract for LA. Indy will then be in tank status, but at least they won't be competing with one of our Nets picks that year. What a shame. Paul George looks really upset with them.
