that 2029 draft pick right now is one of those aau kids on tik tok using the too small taunt on a 10 year old before doing a fort night dance

Isn’t the 2028 second a pick swap and we get the worst pick too?

Draft picks don’t matter to them, otherwise they would put some effort into scouting and drafting better.

I guess it’s better than letting him walk for nothing. Hopefully the locker room chemistry will improve after this. If Deni could just shoot reasonably well on a consistent basis, he (and Kispert and Delon) can makeup for losing Rui’s points.

Trade is stupid. Only upside is that he’s gonna play with the goat.

Per u/TopOfTheKey
> (1) Hachimura’s an expiring contract and if he wanted to sign an extension, he will be doing it in the off-season rather than right now which changes his value. He’s going to get overpaid than what he is able to immediately provide on the floor.
>(2) Hachimura wasn’t going to get re-signed by the Wiz and both parties seemingly knew that for most of the season. Hachimura wanted a pre-season contract, Sheppard wanted to see what he could provide this season (and we don’t want to admit it but a few incredibly high highs but a lot of low moments).
>(3) Second-round picks continued to be used as trading fodder. The fact that it is a far out is actually a good thing because it likely means its trade capital.
>(4) They get another expiring contract in return which continues to be valuable.

Russ and Rui bonded when here, wouldn’t doubt Russ had a good word to put in to get him.

These articles keep saying 3 picks, but one of them is actually only a swap isn’t it? So it’s really only 2

Rui will go on and become a star in a couple of years but we rather keep Deni who will be at most a good role player
