If this dude does anywhere near as well as the numbers he put up as a starter here, this is gonna be a disgusting trade.

two 2nd rounders :(. Then Haliburton taken right after who a lot of people wanted is a max player.

Frank, Knox, Obi. All garbage top 10 picks. So much waisted draft capital.

Thank god for Brunson steal last year.

Should have held out for a late 1st and a 2nd, at least. Or a different young player. Oh well. What a waste.

Haliburton gets +50 and our pick that we picked before him gets 2 2nd rounders....

What’s funny is that I remember the front office was just about ready to trade up in front of the Cavs for Obi in that draft. Lol imagine if that happened and still ended up here.

They better need the TPE or the space to fit a bigger trade to not go over the tax to make this make sense for 2 2nd round picks that probably won't even be rostered for our team.

My fellow Toppin fans, our long national basketball association nightmare is over.

Free at last, free at last! Thank god almighty, Obi is free at last!

Beyond stupid! Should have held onto him and try again at the February trade deadline. We basically gave him away for free.

They are going to use obi in the dunkers role and turner to space floor and actually use obi the right way.
