Wow. Just checking on this thread now, and it's a little hot in here for me
. I don't have too much to say in response other than I'm reloading.
To the guys saying I didn't get defense back, I know I gave more than I got - but I acknowledged this, and I was looking for more offence particularly up front.
To the guys saying I didn't get youth back, I did get Reggie King who I liked quite a bit and who can be, IMO, a pretty special 3. In fact, I don't think anyone mentionned him at all - and he was the key piece from my perspective.
Plus, I have had some success with later firsts in my FBB experience - so I don't think of that as a wasted asset. I have seen a handful of teams move firsts because they anticipate their team being beter than it ends up - which happens from time to time. In addition to this, Zach and Robertson provide depth to my frontcourt which should make for an easier transition for Nolan Friedman, which has value to me. And finally, it opens the door for Mike O'Neil and Kyle Macy to develop. If the early returns are any indication, this is the weak link of the trade - I am not getting what I expected out of the two of them as yet. Zach, Robertson and King have been very good so far, and with some tweaking, I think my guard situation will sort itself out.
About Seymore not being an answer long-term at the point, well, I'm confident in him and I'll leave it mostly at that. When he's been an option, he's been very good.
But thank for the feedback. I appreciate it
