someday in the distant future when the NBA adopts an NFL style cap and trades become really simple, some young basketball nerds will look back at this and wonder what the hell we were doing

I live for silly stuff like this (we're on the trade board, of course we do!), but this will make no sense to a future generation lol

I'm surprised NAW wasn't part of this deal. I suppose Minnesota gets his full TPE now instead of partial since Rocco's salary would have counted against it?

Can we just get rid of the touching requirements. Makes things so goofy especially now with teams not draft and stashing anymore

Everyone trashed the Suns but that’s a respectable return for a player entering season 19.

Some of the names here are a reminder I'm more checked out of the NBA than I once was.

6 of them are rookies from this draft. All but Malauch being 2nd rounders. Daeqwon Plowden is the only no-name player in this trade that was on a team last season

This and all the trades in the past where players who were retired, unretired just to get traded and never play again

The Warriors traded Mashack for Will Richard. Apparently they just want to have every guy who is drafted in the fifties - they already had three on the active roster.

One of the best athletes in the draft. Skill level offensively needs work could be a great defender. Missed a lot of time with injury.

Google says he busted his knee last year so sadly I think he's going to be rehabbing in the G league until he gets cut, not Anunoby anything.

I think he has more upside than that

The Lakers seem to agree with you since they gave him two guaranteed years, but that's the career trajectory I would expect from a 2nd round pick with one good knee.

Do we know who gained what by combining all of these into one trade?

Houston did it to take Capela into the KD trade since their outgoing for that trade plus 25% fit him in
