For sure! And, that's the thing that we all (myself included, and maybe especially) forget - that the circumstances matter, not just the number of picks changing hands. Like, again, Dallas trading away their 2025 won't be a game changer at all, although you hope they don't wast it because it will be a good draft. The ones that drive me insane are the ones so far into the future that the guy(s) you're acquiring won't even be on the team anymore.
If this draft wasn't yucky, I'd be pissed that we're paying a pick from it for a guy who hasn't played here for years now and just single-handedly destroyed our Mavs in game 1 of the NBA finals.
But, husah! The Porzingis disaster is finally over!
