We should not have traded NAW

[George W]

A bunch of us felt this way when the news came out, and now it’s just very clear.

THT is garbage, and every Wolves fan is in hysterics re: the value NAW is bringing to their team.

Really happy for them and him, but I’m not sure why our choice for third guard behind Clarkson and Sexton is ****ing THT.

I doubt there was much of a choice. Utah liked the pick more than NAW

Lovely to see you again, George…….

I can’t help but wonder if we could have given them THT instead though..

I agree and I think this is where we blundered. It was the bad value move of that trade. He was a premium paid for DLo on behalf of the Lakers. Pelinka should have compensated us for sweetening that deal for Minny.

NAW was one of the guys bound to get increased opportunity after Conley and Beasley were gone and he was gonna be RFA next summer so there was little to no risk in keeping him.

Yo we cannot trade our supreme tank commander.

Yeah I dont know if the numbers would have matched with him... but I was always more impressed by NAW as a future prospect even if THT has gotten more opportunity so Hardy somehow likes him more.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Agreed, which is one of the more surprising developments of this season based on how I felt about him at the start of the season. He played well enough for long enough that I considered him a rotation quality NBA player.

 

[SteakNEggs]

It was a really terrible trade from top to bottom for us imo.

We gave the wolves their pg of the future in NAW and he is an incredible fit with their core group. Damn you Hardy for being such a dumbass with NAW. There is no way we trade him if he was actually a key rotation piece.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

5 years from now we will either come to fruition with the genius behind this trade for how it helped us build a contender, or we will remember it as the worst trade Ainge has ever made.

 

[fishonjazz]

Agreed
Just a horrible trade regardless
