okay yet Phoenix wanted him and we wouldn't have got Ayton without him to give up so in the context of the thread, its vey relevant.
It's solid. About as good as I could've hoped for. I don't know about "haul" though. What constitutes a haul?
Would have liked another pick or some more guarantees of our picks being good, but that's the risk I suppose. This can turn out freaking amazing in 28/29/30 but that's a long ways away. This can also turn into a situation where we get 3 very late first rounders in crappy drafts. Think we're conditioned to think of anything better than Herro + 2 firsts as good, so in that sense, yes. This is about on par with what Utah got for Donovan, but those picks are from Cleveland while ours are from GS/MIL/BOS. We were never going to get the Gobert package in this market with the new CBA in place, so this is good.
This link should give us a haul definition: http://www.sportstwo.com/threads/is-the-dame-trade-return-a-haul.382742/
It's a haul and I honestly think it will get bigger because I see about as much of a place on this roster for Brogdon as I did for Jrue. That is unless the team has some killer deal they're working on with Ant going elsewhere.
I think phx wanted to get out of the 4 max players hell first, add bodies to a thin roster second and get a vet center that will accept that he is a 4th or 5th wheel 3rd. The fact that he is big enough to make jokic expand some energy is a plus. They didn't trade for Nurk first, they traded for money, roster depth and staying under the 2nd apron. Luckily for Portland, Nurk fit in these parameters. I have no issue with documenting it as part of the trade, but it was immaterial as far as judging the return for Dame, imho
Something to consider… Is Joe building a war chest in case a star becomes available? I don’t mean Embiid or another aging star. I mean someone down the road like Luka.
Where is Nas and keons value at? All im saying is if we are going to list it, list it, Because money is on the books and it matters.
O He certainly seems to have a wide horizon for vision. Seems he will make moves to open up the ability to pounce on whatever opportunity arises he deems worthy.
As I said, document whatever, does not matter for a board discussion, IMHO, but I don't object to it. Little value is name appropriate (not large), keon, was 0 probably.
