Maybe, but I was looking at the Vucevic deal as a comparison, and I consider Rudy a much more valuable asset than Vucevic. Orlando got 2 first rounders, OPJ and Wendell Carter Jr. for Vucevic.
- The 2 1st rounders are only top 4 protected. Charlotte's picks to us would be considered weaker than Chicago's were to Orlando.
- Rozier is definitely better than OPJ, but they are both expiring contracts. That takes a lot away from the value of Rozier.
- Bridges and Washington are solid young pieces, but nothing points to them being diamonds in the rough with loads of potential.
- We only save $10 million if it's Rudy ($35) for Rozier ($18), Washington ($4.2) and Bridges ($5.4)
