I just don’t know why BRK would give him up for Tyler Herro. I wouldn’t if I were in their shoes, but who knows?
I know. I’m not in love with the Brooklyn part of this (and I’m having them pay a first on top of your concerns).
I will say though that some kind of deal with Brooklyn seems likely and outgoing will be a pick, DFS and some salary. Claxton and O’Neale are the most likely candidates. So, in my defense, I was starting from a point that might be fairly similar in my assumption about what Herro to Brooklyn might end up being. Also, if Claxton is so perfect, then he will be highly valued in the free agent market next summer. Get something now? Or, risk losing him for nothing then?
