I thought it was 2 2nd rounders.
As far as I can tell we traded two of our 2nd round picks (2020 & '21) to 76ers to get Willy. And then traded him to CHA for 2 of their 2nd rounders, same years. Anyway, it was another Sell Low trade by the Knix. With a friend of KZ's heading out.
We are all still waiting for KP to say he didn't want to be traded
Uh, no. We're waiting to hear that KZ said he wanted to be traded. That could have forced PerryMills' hand. But they had a deal in place, ready to Sell Low.
Demar Derozan gets traded. He takes it hard.
KP gets traded. All smiles.
DeMar had been on a winning team for a decade where he built friendships, enjoyed playoff runs and was part of the community. KZ was a few years on a dysfunctional losing team with a revolving cast of coaches, players, management. Big difference.
Even if KZ wanted out, I'd call his bluff, get him signed to a 5 year max, get him back on the court (and see if he could get back into the team), and then look to trade him if he still wanted out.
