Probably, but at the time, not necessarily 100%.

Ingram was a huge question mark both as a player(remember, this is Ingram before the improved shooting, MIP season), and right around the blood clot scare.

Lonzo was a poor shooting point guard that was only so-so defensively. By all accounts he was a major bust.

Jrue was Jrue, but you arent building a core around him. Only person in the league that bought the Jrue is a superstar bullshite was Griff....And I dont think he really did either.

The rest you are basically selling them a mystery box. They know what they are getting at 2, but there is no guarantee they get another Morant with our picks or the Lakers.

Point is it's not that cut and dry. But it's also a pointless exercise because it would have been stupid on our part to essentially give away all our talent and assets for one rookie player as a small market.
