Maybe that moves the needle for you and maybe it doesn’t, but it does speak to the high value placed on first rounders/swaps. It wasn’t just the cap space it cost them.
Us getting a first for one year of Jerami Grant has aged well.
Getting a player on a value contract on an upswing in FA might be a better way to get firsts than simply absorbing $$$ it seems. The Thunder killed it taking on contracts for future firsts but by the time Weaver jumped in it seemed more and more teams were saving some cap space and that makes it a bit of a weaker market for those types of deals bringing in better picks.
