In that case, we spent a top-2 protected 2027 1st as well as a 2030 pick swap to obtain PJ Washington and two, 2nd-round picks.
That's what it cost.
Once you've watched PJ Washington play for a while, you'll realize that this was not a good deal.
You are just making the assumption nothing changes going from a dumpster fire situation to one where he will be given a defined role. When we literally had a first hand experience of what happened recently (I think you can also look at THJ's numbers with Dallas vs with other teams to see something similar). It's risky sure, but there's loads of examples of players coming from bad situations into good ones and looking like different players, especially if you limit that sample size to guys with a rep of being professional and good locker room influences.
