    I voted yes, not because I just voted but because I clearly knew how good Doncic would be back then.

    Id say it kinda depends... You trade CJ for a pick that doesnt pan out and you have a 28-29 year old pissed off Dame, and he says he wants out?
    There’s also a chance whoever you traded doesnt end up being any better than CJ but also pans out. In that case you still might have a pissed off Dame.
    I understand the importance of taking risks, but Id be hard pressed to give up a solidified NBA player (especially a starter quality), for a draft pick, unless I was completely sold on the guy I would be drafting.

    If I was a gm two years ago watching Luka and I could trade CJ for him, of course Id do it...

    what's hilarious, is that 2 years after that draft, when it was apparent how wrong some people were about CJ's value, they still kept doubling down on not trading CJ; kept massively overrating CJ's talent and impact. Kept wanting to play it safe with a 30M/year undersized, no-defense SG that is a poor fit with the franchise player. Kept refusing to see that Portland's commitment to CJ is the main reason the Blazers are on the treadmill

    and even more hilarious, is that less than a year after that hindsight, the refrain is "we can't trade CJ because his value is at an all time low. so let's trade Dame instead"

    it's Blazer reality written by Alfred E Neuman...or The Onion

    It was a no-brainer back then and even more so now.
