I think I've come to terms with this is the only trade in the draft outside the Mark Williams deal that deserves a grade so here we go. A true steal here. Key reminder that for pick trades it's difficult to use my original grading system so it is different!

Love this for us, rumours coming into the draft was that we gave a promise to Newell, I thought it was false and still believe that we did not give him any promise but were strongly considering him so to move back 10 spots and recoup assets and still get the same guy is a good thing in general. What makes it even better Is when I check the way too early cbs sports mock this morning for next year and my team has AJ Dybantsa mocked to him at 2. That Pelicans-Bucks most favourable is a disgusting pick to get, a true draft changer. Went from looking at the lower down prospects to top 10 guys. Super juiced pick and an absolute steal.
Pelicans: D
Moving up 10 spots to get Queen didn't make much sense to me, I know you want your guy but using that pick is hilariously bad so yeah thats horror. But really I have no notes, just pure shithousery. Better hope you hit on Queen.
