However, when it comes to the specifics of operation, there's the issue of trade assets.
For example, the Rockets, even if Hansen wanted to go, the Rockets couldn't give the Cavaliers a satisfactory offer.
So he had to find a team that was a possible trade partner and suited for his development.
Hansen didn't use a process of elimination, as that would be a waste of time.
In truth, his choices boiled down to two: one was to join a weaker team to level up, but he'd forget teams like the Timberwolves or Kings; leveling up required a big city with growth potential, such as the Clippers, Warriors, Brooklyn Nets.
The second option was to find a competitive team, because of his grudge with James.
If James went to the Heat and formed The Big Three and he couldn't stop them from winning the championship, then his current grudges with James would turn into a joke.
