Oh man how long have been people talking about Barkley for them to think that way too often???? He must have been touted for years....BigBawseRoss wrote: ↑Mon May 21, 2018 7:55 am that team is pretty bad and that trade was not too smart, a random first next year (could end up being 12th pick for all you know) wont help you more than a starting caliber player now (i would guess someone like a Doctson, Parker, collins, howard, njoku, etc could have been had around this spot, require little or no wait to develop, and can be plugged right in to a flex spot at worst)
too often people think "oh a first next year could be Barkely!" when it could also be the next wait and pray prospect. Later in the start up thats a fine move but when you start 10 players and you give up your 9th selection you are quite literally giving up a projected starter (for your fantasy team) in order to wait a year and hope the team you traded with finishes poorly.
As for trading the draft pick, players were not there of that caliber for one and even if they were do you think I could have gotten a 1st round draft pick as a return in them straight up? I believed that that was good value for the area I was drafting.
(Btw Anthony miller went in that spot)
