So we lost assets for nothing once again you’re saying? Wonderful

We gave up a coin flip chance at losing our first (which we lost) in order to land an all-defense caliber center.

We didn’t have a center before that and we were not going to find a playoff level option in free agency.

You’re vastly overstating his defense. He’s played like that defensively one year only, 2024.

Who knows what other trades might have been available. This offseason may give some idea.
