This trade was essentially for the two second rounders we had in last years draft (Deyonta Davis and Rade Zagorac) to Memphis. (Memphis had earlier traded for the Clipper pick for Jeff Green)
If the pick conveys next year it definitely has more value than those two second rounders, and will be a better trade chip for the deadline or next summer.
If it doesn't convey then you just lost two second rounders for a small gamble at a future first. If the gamble doesn't come off, you get a second rounder further down the road when we may need more bench guys after we have a contender (another Semih Erden suppose).
Danny wins this trade no matter what. Well done Danny, nice one Danny.
