Thing is, we thought "a trade involving picks" would be a Mavs pick or two going out. I toldja that wouldn't (or shouldn't) happen in a Richardson trade, and it didn't. If Tiger Bay ever becomes an NBA player, that will end up an even more lopsided trade (in spite of the whinging I saw a poster engaging in about the "lateral move" of losing Seth. Noooooooo. Trading a bench player for an exceptionally-well-fitting starter is in no way a lateral move - especially when you got another 2nd rounder back as well).
I agree.
I spent a ton of energy arguing against a Richardson trade involving THJ and picks. I never dreamed they could get him for Curry, and I feel like I would’ve been all about that.
