It's a "horrible" deal because Presti just made Griff bend over and give him picks to take Hill, a positive asset with multiple teams making inquiries that Presti will be flipping for picks before the deadline. I like what Adams brings, and 2nd rounders aren't going to be the difference between winning a championship or not, but I would say we paid a premium to make this part of the Jrue trade happen.

I guess we still don't know the full details of the protections, but isn't there a significant chance that the denver 1st we're sending out eventually becomes 2 seconds in 2027?

It's lottery protected, I expect Denver to still be a playoff team in 3 years unless there's a significant injury to Jokic/Murray. That's going to be a 2023 pick in the 20s.

We got what we wanted out of this trade, but Presti got a lot for an expiring old school center.

I thought it was just lottery protected. Which in the brutal west, one injury to Jokic or Murray could mean the pick falling right outside the lottery and becoming half decent.
