If only Dumbass would have put a top 6 protection on the pick.

But Joe Dumbass is giving Atlanta a most likely top 3 pick.

You’re about to get a few folks saying “Atlanta wouldn’t have done the deal with protections!” and that is all but confirmed to be bullshite at this point

We don't know for a fact. Them calling back to confirm was a solid on their part that they shouldn't have even done. That does not mean they would've done the same deal w top 6 protection.

I'd have to imagine, a Top 1 or 2 protection at the very least would've still gotten the deal done though considering the lotto odds.

What does “all but confirmed” mean? Sounds like maybe, maybe not. You do not know that ATL would have taken the trade with protections on it. If it was questionable and Dumars felt like Queen would be what he is showing that he could be currently, it was the right call. If he offered the pick with protections and was turned down, and Queen was showing out like he is, he would be regretting it more. I know that the bird in the bush is more exciting than the one in the hand to us fans, but I am super happy that Queen is in our future.

Dumars should be fired immediately after this season ends. It will only get worse

Dumars should get a chance to trade Zion and build this team. He and Weaver ultimately hit on all 3 of their draft picks. That's not a management group I'd want to quit on.

You guys (who are constantly bringing the pick topic and saying Dumars should be fired right now) are more pathetic than the way how Pels are playing right now.
All 3 picks looks promising, which is already on par or better than all picks under Griffin 6 years.
Let's see what he will get back for Zion and the others, before firing him.
For example Poole/Bay for CJ was a good trade regardless of the stupid talks that we took unnecessary salary...like we will attract any free agent with the free cap space. Just look which center wanted to come here this year (Looney) and how we were forced to overpay.
Both Poole and Bay can bring back some picks back (or Bay can stay).
And signing DeAndre was obviously more for coaching purposes, it's not his fault that Willie decided to play him immediately (or perhaps he knew he will do it and thus signed him, so he can fail).
