Do you consider this a fair trade? (Cole+Bamba) for (RJ Barrett)

I think it favors ORL but the outrage is maybe overblown...what exactly has Barrett done other than get drafted very high? I like his game but he's not a star and doesn't project to be more than a good, solid starter who can shoot. Cole would be a blast in NY (until Thibs benches him over D) and the Garden would love a young, healthy Kemba replacement playing hero ball. Bamba still has value and tremendous upside, but we all know he's trending towards more of a bust. I think we'd have to add a bit of value by taking back some bad money (but not horrendous money-sorry Evan). NY is so disappointing this year. Just don't think NY sells RJ yet.

I'd like Barrett as a big SG who could spread the floor and score off of Franz's passes but how far does he move the needle really?
