Sometimes, it’s better to be late than it is to not arrive at all. It requires balance for NBA teams, too.
Of course, it’s best not to be late. You waste people’s time, and that’s a valuable resource. Moreover, you’re denying yourself benefits – the early bird gets the worm.
On the other hand, patience is a virtue. It’s confusing. This is another one of those parts of life that requires balance.
For example, the whole world expected the Indiana Pacers to trade Myles Turner this season.
They didn’t. Does that mean they won’t trade him this summer?
Or, could they trade him to the Golden State Warriors?
