As long as the GM doesn’t quit right after the deal, I just don’t see how someone can invoke basketball reasons in this.
in perspective Smash is clearly banking on his top level FA rating along with him have a top star player as well to potentially get multiple contributing players instead of just Kyrie with a loaded FA class. The trade value will def ride on who Smash fills with that cap space.
He also got a 1st round pick and nearly $400 in cap space, and we know how valuable cap space is in the game.
We all understand the reasoning behind it, but sometimes you trade picks and Jordan Hill for LeBron and it goes sideways.
yup, Smash took a huge risk. No doubt Tough not to trust the guy since he has always built winners.
