Dallas felt offended that we broke the Maverknicks train, they had to make things right.

You did swap picks with us and we sent you the draft rights to an assistant coach so that’s gotta count for something.

We also snagged Casey Smith, your guys’ athletic director of the last 20 years

He’s goated. Had a small falling out when the new FO came in which felt jarring on Nico’s end. But what little reporting came out about it made it sound like under Donnie and Rick, Casey was able to give input on basketball decisions in a way that doesn’t really make sense unless you have that 20 year relationship to fall back on.

Yeah he was the head trainer for USA Basketball for almost a decade. His credentials are un-impeachable.

Yall are so fucking lucky, I’ve been pissed since the news came out, Casey was the reason Dirk had such a long and injury-less career for a 7 footer.

Casey is legit - You’d be hard pressed to find someone more experienced
