With the 35th Pick... Jarnell Stokes (traded)

At the time, I thought it was a bad deal because I thought it was for Memphis' own second round pick. If this was the case then it was a bad deal. But it's nice to hear it's the better of either Toronto or Boston's second round pick. I feel better about it now.

I still don't get why so many of you like Bodhi and Colton wanted DL to just throw this pick away.

Not sure which post of mine led you to believe that, but it's not accurate. I'm perfectly fine trading the pick... it's just that the #35 pick in this draft should definitely have been worth more than what will likely be around the #40 or so pick in two years. The #35 pick in this draft should have been at a minimum worth MORE than the #35 pick in two years, because there's an opportunity cost in delaying the pick.

There isn't really an opportunity cost, cause either way we would be foregoing the players we could have drafted with either pick (this years or 2016's).

Perhaps "opportunity cost" isn't exactly the right term, but there is definitely a cost associated with it. To wit: if a team does a trade like that every year, they will never ever get the pick. Therefore doing a trade like that costs the team something.

I get the on paper criticism and wanting more, but again, why should it "have been worth more" if DL didn't have a stasher he saw any value in?
 
Jarnell Stokes killing it today. Per Alex Kennedy (basketball insiders) today "Jarnell Stokes is dominating right now. He was such a steal for Memphis in the early second round. I love his game". I'm surprised we couldn't get more for this guy, this 2nd round was shockingly deep. It's going to be hard to watch him succeed.

Imagine if this guy turns out to be the second coming of Karl Malone, or even Paul Millsap.

He looks good, watching him now. I guess the Jazz saw him as redundant to Kanter. He was supposed to have a 1st round promise.
