Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

I'm the most excited about Agbaji. Dude looks like he's going to be legit. I'd love to see a starting lineup of Sexton - Beasley - Simone - Agbaji - Kessler

But how is it determined who will get the worst pick? This is what's driving me a little wild... there has to be clarifying language and I want to know what it is. If it creates the possibility of a blind/super-swap, then the Jazz should at some point find a way to get any junk 1st they can for that year.

I don’t think we could just trade for a low-end first and swap it. It’s most likely this scenario for example:

We have pick 16

Minnesota has pick 14

Cleveland has pick 12

We would just swap our pick with Cleveland and Minnesota keeps their pick.

Pretty good work by DA. Markannen is a 7 foot shooter. Sexton is a ballhog but useful and The picks!!!

This was a Fxck you Knicks trade by Ainge.

I hope Mitchell becomes the player I initially thought he could be and Cleveland becomes the Beast of the East. As it is, I’d say we won this deal by a fair margin and Ainge is still The Godfather.

That's one hell of a diminishing return.

I can't remember a Shad post containing "excited" is this a good or bad omen?

But "maybe we'll be the next team to draft the an MVP in the mid-to-late 1st" is a great plan!

Im so glad Don was classy enough to keep quiet thru all this otherwise we dont get as big of a haul

Good find. I never knew about that. DIdn't even think it was allowed tbh. I thought a team has to forfeit if they dont have enough players.

Rules vary from league to league, I believe. In Europe, at least some time back, you had to have two players on the court, or forfeit. In the NBA you never go below 5, but there's a technical for every foul that would've fouled out more players IIRC. Not sure about college rules.
I played 2 on 5 for ~10 minutes once. Had fun, but we didn't exactly close the gap like Sexton seemed to be doing here.

From our perspective I assume it is pretty straightforward: we have the right to swap with either Min or Cle. We can only swap our own pick (not another pick acquired at a later date). If we trade our pick the swap rights go to the team that acquires our pick.
