He's 22 (23 in February), so what his ceiling? I don't think anyone can see a future all star level player, but he's just a really really good role player that any team would love to have. Those players are valuable.
I just see that as a lopsided trade that benefits the Haws a little more. We're trading our entire Luka trade return for a dice roll with the NOP pick. KP is salary filer. So we're giving up AD for the NOP pick and Christie/2031 1st rounder for Risacher. Thats a no go. I believe that first rounder is going the wrong way. Take that 31 1st out, and it might be getting closer to even.
Sums up my feelings pretty well. I say that as someone who doesn't mind sending Christie out and who has no feel for who Risacher is as a player.
