Opportunity is tricky. If you sit around and wait for it to come, you’ll never find it. At the same time, you don’t always want to take the first opportunity that comes your way. The NBA is similar.

Suppose you were unemployed. In all likelihood, you’re desperate for an opportunity. In fact, you might be so desperate that you’ll take a job where you’re slightly underpaid. Moreover, you’ll probably live with that decision -until you find out that you missed out on a higher-paying job, that is. 

Sometimes, a team lands in a position where they have a need to trade a particular player. If they’re desperate to move them, they may take a trade quickly. On the other hand, they could be denying themselves a better trade in the process.
