Yeah, I thought so, too, which is why I was dumbfounded by the sheer number of picks that changed hands for Ball today. It definitely feels like Connelly is still working out of 2023's playbook.

If you dive deeper into that deal, it’s actually not all that crazy. It basically amounts to one first round pick and one pick swap. I don’t think MIN should have targeted Ball with their last bit of assets, but that’s a different discussion.
