I gave that move the A-mark.
More than half of the voters didn't see it as an A type of move.
Some time has passed, this old thread is bumped and we got a considerable amount of information on it. Not all though.
What have we found out in the meantime?
- IT looks worse than anyone thought he'd be.
-Jae Crowder continued his drop off since his best 2015-16 season (prior to ankle injuries, some 70 games in the season). He is getting old in dogs years.
- BKN pick has been hovering around the 8-9 range all year long rather than the 4-5 range everyone advertised at the time.
- And sadly, even I, Žižić's "bodyguard" on the CB, have to admit that he has been a disappointment (I'm not giving up on him yet! He is young, is coached by Lou and is in poor situation overall.)
- Kyrie has been amazing. He is having his most efficient year offensively and he even improved his defense. Who could expect more so far?
I have a funny feeling that the F's, D's, C's will still try to think of the reasons that the trade didn't work. They will use much more of their brain power to think of the reasons why they were right, rather than to think of the reasons it is an A-move.
My dear data analysis/game theory professor Kopal, was right:
"Once someone makes up their mind, and forms an opinion, it is extremely difficult to change it. Even if you present him the tangible proof that says otherwise. It is basic human nature."
I'll stick with Žižić guys.
You stick with D- marks for Kyrie deal.
A+ for Prof. Kopal. Sit.
