I never said our players suck. White has value. More than Porzingis who GS traded Kuminga for. I think it is reasonable to assume the difference in value between white and kp is podz and a 1st vs. Hield. No idea if GS would have done that, but it was reasonable value.
Kuminga, Hauser, and 3 1st's for JJJ is definitely on par with what Utah gave up. Matter of preference for Memphis at that point in what they preferred.
Again, the drive to get out of the tax made all of that impossible. It was never explored. No way to knwi what might have been out there if you aren't looking at it.
