So, they got the guy who was 19th on their board. This makes me feel like he might have been the pick at 26, had there been no Wood trade. They got a great deal done with the pick for an immediate contributor, traded back in and got their guy at 37. That's a pretty nice week of work, imo.
The evaluation leading to having the kid at 19...who knows? Some of you don't like it, some of you are more hopeful, but you can't say they didn't have a planned approach with end goals in mind.
My only complaint, and it is veeerrrrry minor, is that Cuban seems to value $2 million more than a future 2nd. I mean, I get it - he's about to write a huge luxury tax check this year, for the first time in a long, long time. But, I do think this should be kind of an indicator of some things. I predict:
No TP MLE this season.
The team will take evasive maneuvers not to be a tax payer next year, and this might involve a move or two that we don't care for much around here.
