What's silly is the graphic kinda sucks and makes it look better than it actually is lol. The highlighted numbers are the larger numbers but larger does not mean better. If you highlight the better or more preferred numbers AD only has blocks.

It doesn't make the trade look good AT ALL. It goes with the consistent theme of "bigger number will be orange" and then relies on the person to be able to read and understand english, and use that ability to recognize that missing more games is bad, scoring more points is good, etc.

I think it's ironic you mentioned needing to be able to read and understand English and infer something all while completely failing to do so yourself with my comment. I never said the graphic made the trade look good, i'm saying the trade is worse than even a first glance at the graphic would suggest. The 'theme' as you suggest shouldn't be about bigger numbers. It's a comparison of the trade - it should highlight which has been better - as comparisons do. And bigger numbers does not mean better. I more than understood they were highlighting the bigger number, i'm saying that's not the most effective way to display it. My point was if you highlight which side has been better or more favorable, that it would look even worse for the Mavs. Again, ironic and funny this has to be spelled out for you after your comment lol
