An All-NBA player, a starter, a projected top-five pick in a draft with multiple potential superstars, and a rookie first round center.

I'm not asking rhetorically. When was the last time a player was traded for that type of value?

It is probably similar value to what Butler, George and Cousins were traded for. That is if you combined the returns of all their separate trades.
IT is greater than Hield, Oladipo, Lavine by a very significant margin
Crowder is a bit closer to those guys given his contract and age
The draft pick is better than any draft asset traded in any of those deals, perhaps combined.

I mean it is just ugly and horrible. I am so baffled...

Sounds like a massive overpay for a non top 10 player when you put it like that. What baffles me was trading the Brooklyn pick.

Garbage. Can't wait till the Cavs get Bagley. Nice job Danny. If he got PG13 in the summer, I could swallow this, but he just gave up our shot at Bagley.

Plus this trade helps the Cavs in the interim and the future. Can't say that on our side of the trade as Kyrie can bounce in 2 years.

Horrible overpay

Hooray ownership! Fireworks!
Truuuuuuuuuth!

We had to overpay because other GMs cornered us

That is an Anthony Davis trade package. Way over the top for Kyrie Irving.

It's the BKN pick that takes the cake. If it was IT-Crowder-Zizic, I could see why. I sincerely HOPE that the Brooklyn pick has protection on it. Maybe top 3-5 protection.

that is the only thing that would make this palatable. You can't give them a transcendent talent next year..

I'd settle for top-2. Bagley and Porter could be All-NBA level.

So, some of the big ones:

Butler: not close
DMC: not close
PG13: not close
Carmelo: not close

We arguably gave up more in this trade than it took to get both KG and Ray:

IT > Big Al
BRK > #5
Zizic = Green
Crowder = late #1 and a #2
