That White trade will continue to move up after the C's win the title in June.
It is interesting to see how the perception of this trade has evolved. I admit that I was OK with the trade but did not love it. I saw White as a good get, but felt like we overpaid. It doesn't seem like that now. The draft pick ended up being Blake Wesley. You never know with picks. I was never worried about the swap (a lot of people were).
It is interesting how that trade kind of set the market for a while. Look what CLE ended up trading to get Mitchell for example [ Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, Ochai Agbaji, 2025 first-round pick, 2026 pick swap, 2027 first-round pick, 2028 pick swap, 2029 first-round pick ]. Mitchell is a better player, has more value, but that is way more than what we gave up for White. Sexton and Markkanen are starters plus all those picks.
