You know if Markkanen signs for the full four years 47/4, maybe I do give up a lottery protected first.
Do we really think Markkanen at $12M per year is that much worse of a trade asset than Aaron Gordon at $17M? How much worse?
Orlando got RJ Hampton (24th pick) and a top 4 protected 2023 pick from Chicago. So you can likely get most of the pick value back for Markkanen.
I think this whole pick thing is BS or they really delusional enough to think they can get an unprotected 1st. I think they want Kleber and Mavs are only offering Powell + WCS, Terry and/or a 2nd round pick.
