I'm confused on why this trade is considered such a big deal/failure? The only asset they lost was a late second round pick. Are we going to make a big deal about that? They obviously tried to get more value out of Johnson, but struck out on all other options. If he had gotten healthy, Redick would have been a help to a bench unit that was getting killed regularly. Ideally they could have gotten more out of Johnson, but I prefer the shot they took to doing nothing.
True. Let´s just call all the 29 other teams and ask them for their 2021 2nd round picks and in return they get nothing, since hey not a big deal. Let´s see how many agree?
