We took on two years of a bad contract for a guy that was third string in order to buy a pick in the 20s. I think we all like Omax so far but that wasn’t trading 10 for 12 and 24.
That’s EXACTLY what they did though. They turned one pick into two. Literally, that’s what they did.
Without dumping Bertans, no TPE. Without the TPE, no Holmes. There was intent there, undeniably.
And that’s not even getting into the realities of what they’re looking at with the tax, first apron, all of that.
They couldn’t have traded THJ or someone for Holmes to get #24, because SAC’s entire thing was to make money disappear in order to make room for the rest of the stuff they were planning, like that ridiculous Sabonis extension.
