18-months later at March 1999 trade deadline, new coach Karl says we need something different here. Brandon dealt for Sam Cassell (was a large blockbuster). Team doesn’t look back, as Cassell a much better fit.
Feel like there has to be a deal out there like this for Dame. A 1 for 2 deal where we get a better fitting PG and a very good frontcourt player.
It may feel that way but I would challenge you to find one.
The problem with the analogy is that Dame is in a different category of player than Brandon was. There aren't as many players you can argue might be a lateral move or close enough. Even if you widen the net to include other positions. We're not talking about 1x all-star types here.
FVV 100% does not qualify and Eason is not enough to balance it out.
