As pissed as I am about this, if we instead kept our picks we probably would've drafted Burke and Saric. I prefer the situation we're in now compared to that.

Now, there's always the possibility there was another trade offer for that Nerlens pick on draft day.

This is where I fall on this mostly. And about the Jrue trade as a whole.

We pick burke and our "pg of the future" is a straight up liability on the court.

regardless, if the trade had been holiday for #6 I don't think anyone would have called that trade anything but fair. it was the second pick that swung the balance and has always stuck in my craw

we are not privy to the negotiations or other offers, but even peak jrue holiday was never worth 2 lottery picks considering the opportunity cost of the second pick (either the player they could have taken or the value as a traceable asset)
