    You were right, there was more. That being said... we didn't have to touch 7 and got one of the starting forward spots filled. Now we need to see a reasonable extension.

    Value wise this makes the clipper trade suck a little less.

    But that trade still fucking sucked.

    I'd of been pissed if we gave up #7 for him. But this? Much more tolerable.

    Does the fact that the CJ deal is now CJ for Hart and Grant make it a better return?

    Yes. Fills a better need in more spots than CJ inadequately did in his spot.

    It does. I'd rather our brand new GM not have to salvage a disaster but he did it and deserves credit for it. I'll gladly eat crow.

    Wow! Ok we can grab Sochan, Sharpe, Murray, Daniels or Duren at 7.

    This is freaking huge. Best move by Cronin EASILY and actually gives me a surge of hope!!!!

    Depends on the extension. If it's a max contract idk...I guess it's better that it's going to a forward versus two max's in our guard spots.

    there were some people that held off on crucifying Cronin because of this very scenario. And yes, obviously it does.

    Wait, we actually traded a 1st and 2 seconds + a pick swap.

    We owned Detroit's 2025 second rounder. So we gave that back.

    Basically the 1st we got in the McCollum deal + the 2nd we got in the Powell deal + the 2nd swap we got in the McCollum deal for Grant

    Ehhh. I liked it better if we kept the Detroit 2nd, but it's fine I guess.

    And if things don't work out with Grant, do we get to do the reverse uno card and call him a moron for the CJ trade?
