Please provide the scenario where we have that current team still in place of it was a straight swap for Laurie.

I understand that everyone is looking at him with his last 2 seasons, but he was never an option for a lot of posters here because of his injury history…..the Lonzo trade wasn’t the splash we wanted, and we ended up settling for Graham…..but I don’t think things have ended up as badly as they could have.

We could be stuck paying a declining Lowry or Dinwiddie….but now we still have flexibility to still make a trade for someone like Laurie at the deadline. Sure Ainge will try to fleece us, but we have all these picks for a reason.

If you make a bad decision, and some unusual twists of fate end up giving you a good outcome in the end, it doesn't change that it was a bad decision.

The Lonzo/Graham trades are the worst moves Griffin has made since trading #4. In a vacuum, we got fleeced. In context of the butterfly effect, I'm happy with where we are, but those trades were ugly then and ugly now.
