What triggers me a bit is that in the discussions prior to TDL, "90 %" of the board would laugh at proposals to trade 2027 for PJ. Find thousand arguments why this is an overkill and how 2 SRP is max we should do. Now all of a sudden "90 %" of the board is super positive about it.
The possibility of player like Grant not working here is far lower than the possibility of player like PJ not working here. That is my main argument. Of course it is always possible it wouldn't be enough, but I would be far more comfortable doing it.
I can definitely see the argument of not doing the PJ deal. Hold onto that first round pick for the offseason and hope that GWill figures out how to be useful on the court. Its a risk. I'm 50/50 on it, mostly because I am glad to be off that GWill contract. I definitely like the trade we did vs a one for one with Green. It would have been a mess having both GWill and PJ on the roster.
