    So all we lost was Tim Frazier and an insignificant amount of cap space and in return we get a 1st and Brian Roberts? How is that not an A?

    To me, an A would constitute a home run. To me, this is just some very shrewd, very solid management by Neil. Maybe not a home run, but very very solid.

    I gave it a B+ only because we don't have Kevin Durant. :ghoti:

    In 2021, this may become a retroactive A, depending on how bad Cleveland gets.

    hahha no. I just don't give out A's too much. A B is pretty much an A in my book. A is reserved for those special years.

    agree, there was a lot of talk about big time players being moved nothing happened, we get a lot of complaints about not getting anything for our capspace - at least today we got some future value for it and a better backup PG

    I went B-, and was considering C. With $15M in cap room, a starting caliber guard making only $6M, and several young players on manageable contracts, I'd have thought they would have been able to return some better assets than a first round pick 2 years from now.

    The moves made sense, but didn't seem to accomplish much.

    When you trade a Tim Frazier for Brian Roberts and a 1st rounder, that's an A+ for me. But, then I am not as delusional as some who thought we would end up with one of the big names.

    I tend to agree that I would have been more willing to give an "A" if we had dealt Meyers for something of value. I still think we're going to overpay to keep him, and he could eventually be considered one of the worst contracts in the league if he doesn't continue to develop.

    Exactly. These moves are fine. But I expected better picks in return. And now Henderson will walk in the summer and leave us with nothing in return. Meaning yet another FA leaving us for a player named "capspace."
