Seattle Trades:
BA 2020 1st - 4th Pick (tied for 3rd with two teams)
C - Harry Gallatin
Sydney Trades:
Sydney 2020 1st - 25th Pick
G - Jo Jo White
F - Gary Gregor
G - Dragos Nosievici
G - KC Jones
Thoughts?
I've known about this one for a while now and much like Seattle i'm high on Jo Jo White. But I also like Sydney getting a high lotto pick because getting a rookie deal will help him keep his core together longer if he wants to.

I'm not high on JoJo. He's a nice third option but he takes way too many jumpshots for my liking. I don't think that can be fixed. There are 4 potentially really amazing players in this draft. Love it for Sydney.

My thought is why do this before lotto? You could get more out of it if it is number one.

My thought is why do this before lotto? You could get more out of it if it is number one. Is a risk because of that but it could go the other way, could lose the tiebreakers and be the 5th pick, and then someone below jumps in the lotto and you have the 6th pick and you might not be able to get Jo Jo then. But if the pick does stay in the top 4 then I too like it for Sydney. |

I'm sorry but on first glance the Kings made out with a kings ransom (pun intended.)

I don't hate it, but I would've waited until after lotto and risk not getting JoJo who is expiring next season.

I dont think I would of traded before lotto. I think that there is a chance Magic Johnson puts another shrimp on the barbie.  |

I never like trading away a pick this high before the lotto...especially for a player going into a contract season.

About what I expected. Basically I had a chance to get a player I really wanted and pulled the trigger. Barring death in TC, I think Jo Jo will look increasingly nice the next few seasons.

If you look at the last couple of drafts you can get a superstar for a top pick. Is Jojo a superstar no he is a good player. Plus your team needs a post player and I don't get why you would pass up McHale or Sabonis who can make you better.

That change anything for anyone?

Yup, since the talent dropoff was noticeable after 4

Kings got the 5th pick. That change anything for anyone? With hindsight, I'd probably change my vote for Sydney by a lot to Sydney by some. But that's with hindsight. The risk/reward factor cannot be washed away with hindsight. Seattle dodged a bullet, and still has a pending max to give to Jojo |

Nope...this was always high risk/high reward for both teams. Kings took a risk and hoped the pick would be higher...it wasn't. Sonics took a risk because Jojo is expiring and hopes he will resign. If he doesn't and they lose him in FA next year, this would be a blowout no matter who Kings gets...still too early to tell but in Kings favor by my count.

Still Even for me. Lots of risk, depends what kinda risk you prefer.

We'll see how Jo Jo reacts to all the Starbucks... Hopefully he doesn't die a painful death in tc
