S&T'ed Devonte' Graham in a deal that had like an 80% chance of only returning 2nds (though it did return a mid 1st that was used on Mark, so it's good to be lucky occasionally)
Feels like using 20/20 hindsight to criticize negative developments, then dismissing as lucky positive developments
not every move was bad in the moment. cutting Martin was absolutely the right call for instance. but they all turned out negative except the Devonte' one... which you have to admit, it was insanely fortunate that a 36-46 10-seed battled through both play-in games without Zion Williamson, otherwise we would've traded Devonte' Graham for like the 41st pick that year.. that was the overwhelmingly likely scenario.
