That's right I forgot about that. I was always figuring they'd give up an earlier pick thinking they'd be better this year which I still think is probably the compromise that would have been reached. Either way, my biggest fear is Perry trading out of picks regardless. Thankfully he's only probably cost them the Spurs pick at this point.
Yeah it always felt like the pick the Warriors were fighting for was the 2027 Kings pick or 2030 Wolves pick. Don’t think Perry was particularly excited about the idea of trading this year’s pick
He was at the combine last year I believe his stick should skyrocket like you said his movements in pick and roll is Luka like and he has the same step back that creates space for three
In a perfect world we trade Sabonis for a top 10 pick this year and leave with Avdalas and one of the top 4 guys
We’ll probably see some teams trade picks from this year around the trade deadline but those are mostly going to be non-lotto late firsts. A bunch of the most desperate teams (the Mavs for one) can’t move their picks this season thanks to the Stepien rule so that sorta complicates matters
