I think I've finally recovered after my initial dissapointment last night. In the light of a new day I guess it's not all a dumpster fire. Travis better be right. (I still question his negotiation skills).
When reports surfaced that the initial trade might be #3 and Bazemore for #5 and Wes Matthews to get out of Baze's contract next year (Dallas backed out from that one thank God), I was livid, I couldn't see straight......I just couldn't see beyond that, then I heard it was a 1st instead but top 5 protected, still disappointment there, the protection should have been top 2.
Compounded by the reported #19 and Baze for #23 rumor - I did not enjoy the draft.
These were also my issue:
- The guy touted as 'the next so and so' never turns out to be that guy. It's always some other random guy setting a standard to have everybody saying 'who's the next'.- it just seems like Schlenk had tunnel vision in trying to recreate the Warriors that has me concerned.
Anyway...Welcome to Atlanta Trae.
