Any reason why you switched 2nd round pick with “at least one 1st”? You did make that up, it’s ok to admit it. People make mistakes all the time, but there is a difference between at least one 1st and a 2nd. How would you feel if the Jazz traded at least one first for a 2nd? I imagine you wouldn’t be happy with that. Did you go off the rails? Depends on what you mean by that…but I know for sure you made that up.
If you disagree with the value we can get….sure that’s legitimate. You could have just said that’s unrealistic instead of making up your own trade and saying it’s bad….but whatever. The market on Bogey/Clarkson is kind of fuzzy. To be quite honest, I’m not even sure who would be more highly valued by the market between. It’s tough to really know trade value and not many good reference points out there. Covington had two years left and got two firsts. Gordon had less than one year left and yielded Harris, Hampton, and a 1st. How do those two stack up to Bogey and Clarkson? Depends on who you ask. It’s difficult because the difference in playing style and there’s also age differences. Fournier and THJ both got hefty contracts this summer which indicates that scoring still comes at a high price point.
But even if Bogey and Clarkson have good value, there’s still not that many targets out there. I have a strong desire to move some offense for defense, but if there’s no trade there’s no trade. I’m sure everyone would like to make a move that helps the team.
