this was a cheaper/smaller scale version of the okoro move i've been advocating. okoro is the better player so if they move more bodies i could still see that one making sense too, this just shows us how hard it is to dump money. that a 22 year old only making $6m had to have a 2nd round pick attached to dump is pretty surprising.

We got a good flyer. This was a great trade. He’s shown flashes but the Grizzlies are trying to contend. He’s going to fit in nicely.
This is his potential vs Milwaukee:

Hope for him he can turn it around, and a good upside pickup at zero cost, but expectations should be literally zero. Probably won’t be in the league in 3 years.

but if they called and said Trae for Ben, straight up, would anyone take that?
I know the goal is to stink this year... but just wanted to see.

Cam Johnson for Jett Howard or Anthony Black, 2025 1st, contract filler like Cole Anthony.

If that's all is takes to get Trae, I say they should make that trade. I know the goal is to finish with one of the 4 worst records, but that trade is just too much value to say no to. Trae will only be 25 years old by the start of the season. While his defense is bad, his offensive game is too appealing. In a hypothetical world, if the nets did this trade for Trae, and then moved both CamJ and DFS for future draft picks/young guys, I still think the team will end up as a bottom 4-to-6 team record wise. The interesting question after making this move, which I think they'd have to do, is what then happens to Cam Thomas. There is no way the team can have a starting back court of Trae and CamT. So either CamT agrees to be a permanent 6th man and spot starter, or the nets would have to trade CamT too in my opinion.
