So this is my takeaway, please correct me if I'm wrong:
Zubac, Kuz, Ingram, Ball, 2019 1st, 2021 1st ...that's a terrible offer.
Kuz, Ingram, Ball, 2019 1st, 2021 1st, 2023 1st, and 2025 1st ...that's an offer worth considering.
Getting a 2023 and 2025 1st are therefor significantly better than Zubac. If the Pels call Lakers back on Thursday, they could probably have gotten that 2023 pick and Zubac.
I'm not trying to be annoying, I'm just trying to tease out value.
So you would have considered that a fair trade, and we would have been able to tank which is worth an extra pick just in terms of projected value.
How do you value the Celtics offer that was reported yesterday, considering the costs of the Pelicans losing draft position by keeping AD? Do you still think it is significantly better than the Lakers offer you would have considered?
