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.

no...Olshey was the issue

Nance 10.7M-->Portland
Jones 9.7M-->Chicago
Markkanen 6.7M-->Cleveland

Jones for Markkanen would have worked in that CBA. The allowed trade differential was 5M
 
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.

Shhhhh. No I wouldn't.
