Trade Avdija to Blazers (2 Viewers)

[Five Second Violation]

Is that the Boston pick in 2029?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

too much

 

[blazerfan11]

 

[illmatic99]

I woulda waited to see who was there at 14 before pulling this trigger.

 

[Natebishop3]

Seems like the consensus so far is that we won the trade.

 

[blazerkor]

Maybe we're also getting the pick 2 tonight????????????????

 

[B-Roy]

Is that the Boston pick in 2029?

we own milwaukee, boston and our picks in 2029

They get the 2nd most favorable

so we keep the best and worst

 

[BIG Q]

We excited or nah?

Depends on the 2029 pick

 

[Natebishop3]

Steep ass trade.

 

[illmatic99]

Maybe we're also getting the pick 2 tonight????????????????

This would make a bit more sense if we flip 7 for 2 in the deal.

 

[B-Roy]

So if Brogdon is in theory worth a first, we just sent 3 firsts for this guy??????

Or hear me out, Brogdon was never worth a 1st. At least not a good one.

Annnnd yes. Joe Cronin's wife follows Deni. Lol

I mean he rebounds, he gets assists, he handles the ball really well for a SF, I don't think he's that great on D but haven't watched enough to know for sure. I hope he lives up to 2 FRPs and Malcolm.

I really like this. Not concerned about the 2nds, 14 and 2nd most favorable 5 years from now. Washington fans were saying they wouldn't want to move him for the 1st pick.

 

[Strenuus]

I like it.

Therefore, you all will like it!

 

[Natebishop3]

I don't know how I feel.... he's young... he seems promising.... he's a wing....

I swear to god if we take Edey at 7....

 

[B-Roy]

All Wizards fans are basically panning this deal. Means we did quite well.

 

[inconceivable]

14th pick in this draft is going to them to.

But 2029 is not specifically stated as 1st

 

[Natebishop3]

But 2029 is not specifically stated as 1st

Woj already expanded on that. It's the second most favorable of all our 2029 picks.

 

[Five Second Violation]

Tells me that the team was very underwhelmed with their probable options at 14.

I like Avidja well enough, but I think that this means we're either overvaluing Avidja a bit here, or undervaluing this draft. Or maybe it really is just that awful of a class and there's really no way that any of these guys at 14 come close to moving the needle.

[ehizzy3]

Avidja is light years better than any wing in this draft

 

[Strenuus]

I don't know how I feel.... he's young... he seems promising.... he's a wing....

I swear to god if we take Edey at 7....

WE GET A PODCAST?

OOOOOH, LETS GET EDEY

 

[B-Roy]

People have no idea how good that contract is for team building. 16M for a starter. 4 years and declining. Even if he never improves it's still gonna be worth 2 firsts to another team in 2 years.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

BTW... he's 23

14 is outside of the window for most of the guys we seem to like.

Maybe we're adding another top 10 pick in another trade?

 

[inconceivable]

Maybe 2029 is a second rounder.

Yeah, can't wait for the exact details

If we came away from tonight with Avdija and Sarr, I'd be feeling pretty good about it.
