They were almost in the playoffs last year too.
JV was a big reason why.
But I will say after thinking about it for longer, I'll say I don't think this is THAT bad of a trade for Memphis. JV was getting up there in age, and Adams is a good player in his own right. I think how good we judge this trade depends on how they use the 10th pick. If they pick up a solid guy or better, then its hovering around a A to B. If they whiff then this trade quickly falls down a C to D level for me.
