To add insult to injury, it was achieved via the trade exception GENERATED BY THE LAMAR ODOM TRADE, which trade now appears clearly as punishment for something one of you guys did. And I want to know which one.

The trade is for four probably worthless draft picks, and Nash will be getting 27 million dollars for three years.

We're not going to shed TOO many tears missing out on paying a 38 year old 9 million dollars for three years, but it's an obvious blow to any idea that the Mavericks are real expert at this wheeling and dealing.

Nash, adding an extra kick to the Gortats (tm Mike Fisher) reportedly asked to be traded to the one of his four suitors who was a contender.

Ouch.
