There’s no way that we could get Boston to engage in trade talks with us if we’re just offering picks.
But…..
What if there’s a 3rd, or even 4th team involved? Don’t get me wrong, it’s still not likely, but Utah does have a treasure trove of assets now. What if Brooklyn likes the idea of starting over from the ground up better than the idea of building around Jaylen Brown?? It wouldn’t be the craziest thing we’ve seen.
In all honesty, if you gave me the choice of robbing the Knicks blind and starting our rebuild with a **** ton of draft picks, or sliding Donovan over to PG and bringing Jaylen Brown in to play alongside him, that’s my choice.
Having 12ish first round picks certainly isn’t a bad thing, but it guarantees you nothing. You still have to hope the ping pong balls bounce in your favor, and even if they do, then you gotta hope you pick the right guy.
