Posts about Frank Kaminsky
People ripped them at the time and it looks really bad now too.
The deal was the fifteenth pick, the sixteenth pick, an unprotected 2018 Brooklyn pick (a valuable pick which now belongs to the Cavs thanks to the Kyrie deal), and a choice of one of two picks that includes the potentially juicy 2019 first round Memphis pick. All this for the 9th pick, who ended up being Frank Kaminsky. (Boston planned to choose Justise Winslow, who they must have regarded as a future star and presumably must have had a top-3 grade on to justify this type of offer.)
Anyways, I've always wondered how closely Charlotte's rigorous cost-benefit analysis must have broken down that deal to somehow decide the 9th pick in what as considered an average draft was worth taking over those four picks. Very surprising stuff from a great franchise
also wtf was boston thinking lol
