I would like to see Nico get a few more picks to see if Jaden was blind luck or if that was skill on his part. Because to be honest, the rest of the job he has done has not been stellar. It would be nice to see if he had this skill. Not expecting 100% success rate either. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear this will be something we are going to be able to judge a lot.
Good news...Mark Cuban is on the charge rule. We will not be blindsided by this like we were the take foul.

Hyland was acquired for 2 2nd round picks, Kennard was traded to Memphis for 2 2nd round picks, Wall was traded to Houston, then bought out for Gordon. Westbrook was waived by Utah and signed with the Clippers. So the Clippers received 4 2nds for those deals. Not bad...
They received 4 seconds? Or did they end up pick neutral? Nice haul. Typically these type of deals don't move the needle much, but you are just looking to fill some holes. It looks like they did well.
