The commenter being like, the GM needs an award.
Oh, well.
You traded good picks.
You traded good players for seven first-round picks.
What's the objective?
Like, what's the objective of the league?
Like, isn't it to try to win basketball games?
Like, if anyone, listen, if any GM 170, like, do you know how many first-round picks the Thunder could get if they traded away their good players?
They could get, like, 20 first-round picks, maybe.
What if you're a team, just theoretically, hypothetically?
What if you're a team near the top?
What if you're a team that finished second in your conference in consecutive years?
What if you're a team that had multiple... All your own first-round picks and three extra, and you had cap space, and you had a young core of all-stars?
And what if you backed your way into... You started veering into the middle, and then you're like, what if instead of trying to get back to the top, we just started over?
We just completely started over.
I mean, listen, maybe, maybe there's a situation where one of your best players had some off the court stuff and the situation, the relationship frayed and you had to make some choices and you said, well, we'd like to trade this one, but no one wants this one.
What if we get rid of all of our good players who are in the prime of their careers and
and we'll stack up a bunch of first-round picks.
Well, so you could also say like, even if you're not totally confident in John Moran, they'd already tanked out.
They'd gotten a Zach Eady.
