Good luck finding these credentials on any other playing that we could have traded for, nevermind a 25 year old.

We got hella lucky this blue chipper wanted to play for Brad in green and sees us a vehicle to propel him into superstardom.

You got to be kidding me if you are worried about the 18 Nets pick... there is less then 1% chance you get a Kyrie level player out of that.

This trade is a huge bet on Brown/Tatum being really good players in the next two years.

They are good players now.

Tatum, who hasn’t played a single NBA game, is already a good player??
