Well first, hes still 28. Giannis is 30 so thats the timeline, right?
Second, im not sure what the wildest dream is for one unprotected pick but recall it took a 1.24, two unprotected firsts, and two pick swaps to get Jrue Holiday. And that was before Giannis re signed in Milwaukee so those unprotected picks had big potential value.
From that perspective, i think Cam for two late firsts and we pocket the third for something else is a very solid move.
He's 28 for just like, 30 more days but whatever. I'm not paying the small market premium tax for another guy who's reached his ceiling as a "good starter on a contender for the next 2-3 years", and I love Cam Johnson. It's the Antawn Jamison Cavs move.
Okay so what range of players are the worst you would consider using the 31 1st on? Gimme some names
I can't think of any, that's the point. Suns aren't dealing KD anymore but he's obviously a dude that you'd throw that in to get. DeRozan? Jerami Grant? DeAndre Hunter? Yuck.
Short of some already good, young player on a rookie contract or established superstar becoming available in the next 4-hours, don't sink this team into the asset-deficient abyss any more than it already is by settling for the best starter-ish player available just because they're the same age as Giannis. Just flip Brook/Bobby by themselves for a longer contract dude and roll into the offseason with a future pick or two that you can still trade.
