I don't think this team gets beyond the first round of the playoffs, and I think Luka gets us in the playoffs alone, so getting lesser players (maybe, and right now...maybe too) doesn't really make this a punting season in my mind. But making this trade opens up a good amount more possibilities for the future...like trading KP!
Maybe I could have worded it differently and said it punts the upside of the season. As long as we don't face the Suns or GSW, we have a good shot of getting out of the first round. Trading away JB and Maxi almost guarantees a first round exit.

Great factoid.
