    If you thought the Clippers trade was a good trade, I seriously question your knowledge about the NBA.

    Right now, and as I said the trade is incomplete until the 2025 draft, he broke even on the CJ trade.

    Woooooopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    So if we break it down in aggregate:

    CJ + Nance for Grant + Hart + Didi + Ingles.

    would you call that a win?

    I certainly say MIL pick + 36 for Grant + 46 is. But would we not be in an even better place if we extracted more from NO?

    These guys want to throw him a parade for not grossly losing a trade. The trade is solid, but come on... I think people are just happy we didn't trade the 7th after that was the expectation for so long.

    Let’s just say I am CONFIDENT that the Clippers trade wasn’t entirely on Cronin…

    One obvious answer has been discussed quite a bit - trade down for multiple picks. For sake of argument, say we draft some combination of Duren, Sochan, or Davis. In a couple of years the combined value of those players will likely equal or exceed Grant and at a fraction of the salary. Another option, albeit harder to pull off, would be to combine #7 with the 2025 pick to move up this draft or next.

    To put it simply, don't trade assets or tie up cap space on a vet unless they are really good. Otherwise, add players still on the upside of their career.

    Also, can we please discuss how our newest acquisition is currently modeling for Vogue in Paris? I brought this up earlier in the trade thread, no one seemed to care then.

    I'm happy about the value and that for once we got someone who may actually have an impact, and I can admit that being someone who didn't want Grant.

    It's not going to make us a contender but we aren't sitting on our hands not are we overpaying. A value win.

    Unless we sign him to the max. Then it's a loss. Lol.

    Eh. I disagree. We didn't give up much for him and since he's a vet we will see if he's a fit before the deadline. We're not stuck with him.

    We don't know that. But he's the face of the front office. He takes the heat because don't know who to blame. Jody gets just as much heat, maybe more.
