WTF must Jokic be thinking if ownership is too cheap to hang on to their front office. Remember same thing happened when Toronto took Uriji from them because the ownership was too cheap to pay for their front office staff,
The power of hitting the lottery. If the Nuggets never lucked into Jokic this guy would have probably been out of a job a long time ago.
Minny trades Garnett to the Celtics in 2007 -> Garnett wins title in 2008. Minny trades Love to the Cavaliers in 2014 -> Love wins title in 2016. Minny trades Wiggins to the Warriors in 2020 -> Wiggins wins title in 2022. Who's going to be the next player to be traded by Minny and win a title with his new team?
Did the Jazz GM hold a gun to the Wolves GM to do this? This will end up being one of the worst trades of the decade easily.
Teams wildly throwing half-decades worth of picks around like this is crazy. This is going to end badly for a lot teams. Silver may need a new version of the Stepien rule to save teams from themselves.
This will go down with the terrible trades like Harden to Houston and the Nets-Celtics trade that ended up landing Jalen Brown and Tatum.
F*** that. The Stepien rule is part of why they have to send a crazy amount of future picks. If teams could send just three picks consecutive instead of like 3 alternating and two swaps everyone would be better off.
