Reexamining the Jonas Trade
When the trade was made, I think we all assumed the pick was going to the Lakers. Most of us probably thought the pick would be somewhere in the 20s. But now, it looks like the Pels will likely keep the Lakers pick and instead the Grizz will get the Cavs 2022 2nd rounder (lets say the 46th pick) and the Pels 2022 2nd rounder.
So, with that in mind, I am curious for each of you guys to grade the trade now vs how you saw it at the time. For a reminder, the whole trade was:
Memphis gets: Steven Adams, Eric Bledsoe, #10, 40, and THE PICK (either Lakers pick or the two 2nd rounders)
Pelicans get: Jonas Valanciunas, #17, #51
So, give me:
1.) Your Grade at the Time of the Trade
2) Your Grade if the pick were to land at 11 or 12 and Memphis got it
3) Your Grade if Pels keep the Lakers pick and the Grizz get two bad 2nd round picks
