Read the article and didnt regret it. Lynch has no idea what he is talking about
"
First, you don't just get the Nets pick outright; you have to give up your own. While that's worth it for a team late in the lottery or in the playoff hunt, acquiring Brooklyn's pick this year isn't nearly as valuable as it would be without the swap."
lol. thats not how the swap works.
he doubles down on this in his discussion of the '18 pick just to prove that he really has no idea what he is talking about
"this pick is nearly as valuable as the 2017 selection.
You're essentially exchanging the possibility the Nets improve for the right to keep your own pick rather than sending it back to Boston, as with the aforementioned asset."
He then just basically lists Bradley Crowder and Brown and says they arent that valuable with literally 0 analysis aside from saying Brown is not James Harden.
Truly horrible article. Good read for some laughs.
Even if he hadnt massively ****ed up in his understanding of the rules of a pick-swap, the article would still be utterly devoid of analysis.
