Former Knicks GM Scott Perry on the Hoop Genius Podcast about the disgruntled superstar strategy: “If a guy’s disgruntled somewhere else, what makes you think he won’t be disgruntled when he comes to you? I’m just sayin. You hear this as a strategy now…Me personally, you have to proceed with real caution…I don’t have the ‘arrogance’ necessarily to believe that a guy’s gonna come to our place & he’s gonna be happy just because…And when you look at these disgruntled stars, how many of them have left a situation where everything was catered around them…when they go to the new team, it’s not quite the same for them…the guys that have been traded…Dwight Howard, when I first got to Orlando, he was the Orlando Magic. Ever since he’s been gone from there, what’s his career looked like? He’s been searching for what he had in Orlando the entire time”
Idiot wasted all our lotto pick from Phil to Perry to Leon then they make excuses of trading for talent on top of that they don’t collect assets for a star player trades.
