So it’s basically two million saved with the tax right?

You can identify the newbs by whether they think ‘”cash considerations” help the cap situation. The OGs who lived through the Kahn years know the deal.

Fans should get to split that, and as the only true fan in my humble opinion, I should get all of it

Maybe I’m just still traumatized by the Kahn days, and decades of Glen, but I will always and forever die on the hill that the NBA should make trading picks for just cash considerations illegal. I mean, idc if what you get back is a complete joke (like a 2031 top 59 protected second) — it’s disgraceful to the fans that literally nothing tangible besides money to the owners pockets is received back for a pick that could become a contributor. Yes, I understand how unlikely it is… but like come on Naz Reid was undrafted.
Just to me has no place in competitive sports. That said, I do agree with trading out of this draft. Not because I know anything about the players and the quality of the class — but because we literally do not even have good development time to offer a kid at this juncture. It would almost be a disservice because we likely don’t have any chance of them having a role even if they become a solid 9th/10th man because this team is so deep and now has potentially 5-8 under 25 year olds that could be long term pieces.
