Step 1: Let the entire world know you are aggressively trying to move your Finals MVP for Giannis.
Step 2: Get to the finish line on the Giannis trade, but get cold feet because you don’t want to extend a top-5 player, so you miss out on Giannis.
Step 3: Now that your Finals MVP is rightfully disgruntled that you tried to trade him and the entire world knows you no longer can employ him, go trade him for washed up Paul George on a bad contract.
Flawless execution.
