I honestly think its even. But I coukd be way off. These 2 guys are only going to make my team better and they are young so I dont see the harm in parting with a late lotto pick for them

Why doesnt it though?
Rodman fills a rebounding void and is great defensively. Ainge fills a 3 point shooting void provides good wing ball movement and vey good perimeter D.
I have zero delusions that this makes me a playoff team this season, but the pick I gave most likely be worth anything good enough to make me a playoff team either.
I see it as getting 2 useful assets for 1 asset that is more than likely not going to land a player as good as Ainge

If Milan feels like Ainge and Rodman were key pieces and future starters for them, it's not a bad trade.
With majority of teams trying small ball in this league, I think Rodman is a good asset because he can defend the post as well as the perimeter. Imagine if facing Seattle in a playoff series, I'd start Rodman at PF...he is good if put in a position to succeed.
From Toronto's perspective, we had Paxson ready to step in for Ainge and two solid front court players.
I'd say the trade is even but I can see why people are questioning Milan. Let's hope he has a good plan for his future.

Raptors by a bit. Picks are pretty valuable so to settle for two guys who are role players on any sort of solid team boggles my mind.
