my opinion on bane trade:
pros
- it fits the timeline of our young core
- weltman finally made an aggresive move
- shooting was our main need
- he is also relatively young and could play here for a long time, therefore opens our window for 3-4 years minimum
- got rid of kcp who was an awful signing last year
cons
- i believe the same or similar trade could have been made with 3 first rounders instead of 5. similar cases of overpaying for the potential "missing piece" have misfired badly (mikal bridges, paul george or rudy gobert), and none of them brought a championship to the new team.
- did not like cole anthony being shipped as part of. he was instant scoring from the bench + clutch in the final minutes. would have preferred isaac to leave, since he always has this minute restriction and has never really developed
- we needed more a pg than a sg. that means now someone will play out of position, most likely suggs doing pg stuff. unless black becomes a reliable starter and jalen becomes our new 6th man, i would have liked to go all in for a rising pg instead of a rising sg
overall, I give it a 6/10
trade was needed and player style and age fits the team, but overpaid and and could have had a better possible option
