TJ Warren, and what they believed would be low first round picks.

That’s 1 starter and 1 bench player for a hall of famer, and a veteran. And a bunch of picks that might not be anything.

People act like they traded away the whole team for KD. It was a gamble. adding KD hasn’t made them significantly better.

The future outlook would be more positive if they still had bridges and Johnson, and their picks.

But it was a shot worth taking, and it hasn’t worked out.

There is no reason to think the team would have been better against this Minnesota team if they hadn’t made the trade.
