pretty decent way to spend that Hardaway money

Yeah, good signing for the Mavs. He should get plenty of open shots playing alongside Luka/Kyrie.

So the Klay Thompson sign-and-trade deal between Golden State and Dallas has now turned into the first 6-team trade in NBA history.

If it takes 6 teams to complete a trade, you have the stupidest system on earth

Why would the Nuggets straight up sell 2nd round picks in 5 or 6 years?

How did the Sixers get a 2nd from the Mavericks?

I honestly think it's hilarious. I think the NBA and NHL have the greatest discrepancies when it comes to trades. NHL trades are typically quite boring, even the huge blockbusters don't include a lot of moves. In comparison, the NBA regularly has these gigantic deals that basically resemble the Lindros return (not exactly, but the amount of assets moved is hilarious).
