I don't see it likely that Capela will be helping to lower the value of that pick. I would much rather send the pick out for a younger player that has more chance to be contributing to lowering the pick's value in 4 years.
I agree with this soooooo much. Perfect way of articulating what I have been trying to say in post after post.
If the player you're trading picks for won't be around to "help lower the value of the picks" you're trading, that's a trade that could end badly, and is in my opinion not a generally good way to do business.
None of us knowing the Porzingis deal would be a mistake ahead of time argues FOR this POV, not against it.
