Why This Trade is GREAT:
1- Our Young Guys are OFFICIALLY taking over. The only player we took on that might play major minutes is Rush. We also will be handing the keys to Burke.
2- We really didn't give up anything. For those of you worried about how we spent the $26 mill, what better could we have done with the money? Would you have rather signed a veteran to take time away from Kanter, Favors, and Burke?
3-We get all that cap space back NEXT YEAR! We didn't take on anything long term. This means that if there is a FA we want next year we might be able to get him (because we sure weren't getting anything good with the $ this year. Would you of rather signed Big Al or Millsap? Maybe Mo Williams?)
4- We're making sure that we won't be very good next year. This helps our chances of getting Wiggins, Gordon, Randal, Smart, or Jabari.
5- Late first round picks have value if you have a good GM. Lindsey will find talent with a pick in the mid 20s. Look at what he did in San Antonio.
I think everyone was simply mad because we didn't get Klay or Barnes, but that was never a possibility. They weren't going to trade their expiring contracts and Barnes just so they could sign Iggy. That doesn't make any sense at all.
