TRADE: Dallas receives Zaccharie Risacher in 3-team deal

[mvossman]

I mean...the criticism over what Risacher has shown so far is valid. I personally think he wasn't helped by the fact that his draft class was so bad - he's definitely not a #1 pick, but we all knew that the night before that draft, so I'm not sure why people have been so surprised he hasn't made the impact of a #1 pick. Further, I think ATL is one of the least European friendly teams (and cities, more importantly) in the league, so it's not tough for me to imagine he's been unhappy there and has lost a lot of confidence.

I was into the idea of Risacher being the return for a freaking Anthony Davis trade (which he basically was), so of course I'm thrilled with this move.

That AD trade essentially netted us Aldama, Risacher, Sergio, Sasser, Tarik and enough space to get us under tax for two seasons completely resetting the repeater.
