This trade isn't necessarily "the hill I'm going to die on" (I honestly don't care about it). but stating Yax, a 24 year old rookie, after one Summer League game, has All Star potential, is far more hyperbolic.
Pre-Draft everyone was wanting a 1st for PJ, Gafford, Naji and Max EACH. And at least a 2nd for Klay. Now, suddenly, people are happy getting ONE 1st (Yaxel) for a combination of them while eating dead weight in one of Steph's few remaining seasons.
Make it make sense.
