the only 1st that LAC had was the 2028 1st. I think the question is why did Cronin consider a trade of both Powell and Roco to a team whose only tradeable first was 7 drafts from now
I get your point, but it's irrelevant. It's like taking a bet on a high beta stock and having it pay off. So what? You're supposed to be rewarded for making the high-risk move. We took all the downside and will be lucky if we break even on this deal. We should have been rewarded with assets.
