it was an even worse trade than the possible pick fiasco
it was a 3 team trade with the Cavs and Bulls. Nance was in Cleveland. Chicago got Derrick Jones and the Blazer 1st. To get that, they traded Lauri Markkanen. That's right, Portland could have traded for Markkanen but Olshey, ever the fucking idiot, thought Nance and his injury history was better
Was the salary difference between Nance and Markkanen an issue in getting Markkanen. IIRC it was, but I could be wrong. LM was clearly the better player even with shaky D.

If we didn’t win immediately, I think you’d regret that trade. In 5 years, Scoot and Sharpe are much better than Giannis. Like trading SGA for Paul George.
