People are angry now because the name Bledsoe was leaked and everyone thinks they know how the negotiations went down, but when we are picking 31st next year simply because we decided to get involved in a trade where our 'asset' was a guy who wasn't really ours at all I wonder if people will still be saying 'I wish we didn't even have this pick.'
Yeah I can absolutely understand what you're saying, come draft time we will all be happy to have extra picks, it's just the pain of missing out on another guy in Bledsoe and being on the bad end of another deal. Obviously getting anything for a UFA is always good but when you have all of the leverage and a situation like JJ to the Clips presents itself, you get built up to hope for Bledsoe and then PHX sweeps in and you're left looking stupid with only 2nds to show for Tobias / Lamb then Redick it just sucks.
I like collecting young players and picks and adding two seconds, especially a potentially high one from PHX is good, just everything as a whole sucks. Like Paul said, we have turned Bogut, Harris, Udrih and Lamb into Ish Smith, Udoh, Ayon and two 2nds... Being a Bucks fan is just pain.
