Now the trade gets a little bit worse if THJ leaves and you get nothing for him in a SNT. Or if you decide to dump KP for cap space.
I still do that trade 10/10 times.
1. How do you know they are crappy? Have the Knicks selected somebody yet?
2. You also ignore the fact that DSJ + two first round picks could have yielded a different player in a different trade. I believe the Cavs paid a protected 1st and a 2nd for Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince. So I´d argue that Allen, Prince, a retained 2023 Mavs 1st round pick, full future pick trade flexibility and $15M in additional capspace could be considered a better position already.
