Regardless of what you think of the original deal, casual fans are going to see it as "5 first round picks for Kuminga" which is going to be a disaster. They knew Bridges was going to be in line for a big raise when they traded for him; if they didn't prepare for that then they didn't do their homework.
Either way Mikal >>> Kuminga in any meaningful measure.
Did you just call me a casual? Man, that hurt.
I was mostly joking. I do know that "five first round picks" looks crazy out of context, but most of those picks will be in the 20's and not really worth all that much.
My point is, Bridges is better than Kuminga. Kuminga is really negative value IMO, especially when you factor in what it's going to cost to sign him.
Lmao not my intention but I can see how it came off that way
