Fair. But I know which one is more valuable trying to win a title in the next 3-4 years.
I guess I don’t understand why we’re ignoring the trade restrictions with the picks? If we’re talking next 3-4 years, I’d rather have the 1st as trade ammunition than Bobby, as it opens the door for a 3 firsts + multiple swaps trade package next summer.
Yep. It is being described as having Bobby now or having Sexton now versus making a pick in 2029 when keeping that draft powder would allow them to have three firsts, two swaps, and tons of expiring salary (in the form of useful players) to trade in June of 2024. I view that flexibility as more likely to help a prime 29 year old Giannis than Sexton or Bobby.
Because it was a trade value discussion of Bobby in a vacuum. If a team is trying to win a title in the next few years is a Bobby or a pick in 6 years more valuable. And just in general, doing best to ignore and/or just normalize trade values Bobby is more valuable than a 6 year out lottery protected pick.
For the Bucks situation as you're agreeing to, the hoarding/projections issues its different. As I and others have been saying the whole time.
