This also goes to show you how much nobody really wanted Khris unfortunately. Not a justification for this at all but Horst was probably not sorting through a ton of appealing trade offers.

I think this is a trade that unites the whole board, there's no defending this one

Can't believe we had to give up Aj Johnson too, that couldn't have been Marjon? Disgusting, just a really disappointing trade Horsty. And i'm probably higher on Kuz than most, but this is gross.

Sad to lose Khris. Didn’t see it with AJJ, I may be proved wrong. But I understand the logic here, albeit a disaster of Horst’s own making.

Why did Horst even draft AJ?

This is caused by the ridiculous contract Horst gave Lopez last summer.

Throwing away pick swaps and a guy you just drafted when the cupboard is bare. Half in, half out competing deal ala Kohl Era.

Should have traded Middleton, Lillard, Brook, and all the geezers earlier to stock and try one hurrah with Giannis before he too departs.


Baldwin had no business being drafted. Woof.
Go Bucks!

Trade is still an abomination, but this makes it less bad.

Would’ve been better off doing nothing. This is a pathetic trade.
