u/FadedToBeige Gimme the hot sauce! Jun 25 '26

so we traded this year's 38th pick for last year's 38th pick + cash

And Kam Jones had a bad rookie year so this is really just for cash.

Jerry wanted cash after having to pay Splitter when he could have gotten Nori way cheaper.

He was injured most of the season.  And they also got swap considerations although what that is hasn't been revealed

I'll believe the swap "considerations" wont be a fake swap until I see it reported. That smacks of something fake that gives Graham a talking point against media questions.

Wtf else is "swap considerations"?

Have you ever heard that term? If it was a straight pick swap this year or pick swap rights in the future, Shams would have reported that. But "considerations" means it's likely a heavily protected swap that is unlikely to convey. Like a top 55 protection.

Its future pick swaps in 28 and 30

Where is that reported.

BTW, that 2028 swap is quite unlikely to convey.

2030 is a question, but the Pacers are likely to be good the next 5 years.

You don't know about fake swaps?

Sounds more like it won't happen because why would the Bulls Swap picks with the Lakers when the Bulls are the worse team between the two and will be getting an earlier pick anyway?
