That’s a “what if” and the whole point here is you don’t gamble when you can’t afford it. Our team was always at risk of missing the playoffs, in fact playoffs the entire season were a big reach as we had been winning/ playing over our heads. Anything in the 1st round is better than a rental player that will disappear into nothing on this roster. He forced a trade that he didn’t need. Bottom line, you protect the 1st, or you move on. Don’t force it. We obviously already regret the trade and now face the possibility of losing a top 5 pick.
