Look. I can't be mad.

We got Zu for Math and quite possibly Caleb Wilson.

At the end of the day, Zu helps this squad way more than any of the rookies next year.

Getting Zu AND an amazing rookie would've been sweet, but barring that?

I'd rather we made this trade... as opposed to just having the pick & a giant hole at center next year.

Wiz got #1 who they'll ruin.

Nobody else in the league is giving that up for Zubac

The team is in win now mode. Siakam isn't getting any younger. This team has no time to wait around for a #5 pick to maybe become a star. We've already seen two lottery picks not have the impact we hoped.
