But the point is that you could have had Anunoby starting at SF instead of Barnes (while making $21 mil less than Barnes and while only being 6 months older than Fox). I was yelling at my TV when we took Jackson over Anunoby.
Imagine having that cap space freed up while having Fox, Hield, Bogdanovic, Anunoby, Bagley, and Giles on rookie deals (except for Bogi)?
And if we took Doncic (like I wanted) you’d have a very versatile core:
PG - Fox
SG - Hield / Bogdanovic
SF - Doncic
PF - Anunoby
C - Giles
Then we should have looked to trade that cap space for picks (Crabbe/1st for space, Iguodala/1st for space, Warren/#32 for space, etc.) to continue to build our asset pool.
