Things will not always go according to plan. That’s a reality that any adult needs to accept. NBA general managers are no exception.
Sure, they can make a plan. Sometimes, things don’t work out the way you’d expected – for better or for worse.
Just look at the Los Angeles Clippers. Surely, this team thought they’d built a title contender.
With Kawhi Leonard and Paul George frequently getting injured, that hasn’t been the case.
By contrast, look at the New York Knicks. They thought they were a star trade away from being competitive. As it turned out, they were already there.
Could they acquire a star anyway by landing George?
