They also released Quinn Cook, but no one is perfect.

I’m suprisingly impressed by Dell. Still not the biggest fan of constantly trading draft picks, but the only one I really regret trading is the 15’ for Asik.

The other deals essentially amount to:
2013 1st, 2014 1st for Jrue, which netted the 76ers Nerlens Noel and Dario Saric (after Elfrid Payton trade).

Buddy Hield (2016 1st, 2017 1st (Zach Collins who was traded to blazers for #15 and #20) for Boogie

Asik, 2018 1st #22 for Niko

All of these are great trades (Holiday trade looks much better now than it did in the first few years). The only complaint might be that you lose out on the opportunity for young cheap talent in exchange for vets who just cashed in a payday. While it would be nice to have some more prospects, It’s just not realistic that we sign a free agent like Jrue or Cousins given the state of the franchise at the time the deals were consummated.

We should've never gave Solo the contract that we gave him.

giving up on aminu was worse than trading for asik.
he is exactly what the team is missing as evidenced by last game struggles in rebounding opponents misses

pels three guard lineups are too short.
