Totally lost on me, bro.Cheers,FooteyI think I follow this one. Danny tried to trade 4 picks to move up to get Winslow. Thankfully that didn't happen. Can't recall but one of those picks may have been the pick we used to take Jaylen. So get lucky a trade doesn't happen and then get a better player at the same position.
If he had made that trade ,we wouldn't have Jaylen and maybe not Rozier, Tatum and KyrieDanny wanted a Winslow type and it was Jaylen at number three-Remember the reaction.Winslow as it turns out isn't that good.TOO straight line not as quick as Jaylen or athletic AND Jaylen can shoot betterI must think like KyrieThe best non trade -giving up all those picksWinslow vs JaylenThe only reason it didn't happen was Jordan wanting Kaminsky-Therefore reds phrase -Danny is lucky.TP to TAZZ
20 is relatively advanced in terms of basketball development. I think brown can improve his handle some but don’t see it ever being a strength. It will take a big effort for his handle to be average and likely will stay below average as far as star wings go.

That Danny offered 4 first round picks for Winslow is (a) unsubstantiated, and (b) even if technically true, was never suggested that it involved any of the Nets' picks. The fact is we had so many 1st round picks stockpiled at that point (2 of which were later used to take Rozier and Hunter; the other two could have been Memphis and/or Dallas (Yabusele) and/or our own (Zizic)). I seriously doubt Danny would have risked any Net pick on Winslow. Show me a Danny quote where he said he offered one and I will shut up.
"Boston put Charlotte on the other end of a quantity-for-quality pitch," writes Lowe. "The Celtics offered four first-round picks for the chance to move up from No. 16 to No. 9: that 16th pick, No. 15 (acquired in a prearranged contingency deal with the Hawks), one unprotected future Brooklyn pick, and a future first-rounder from either the Grizzlies or Timberwolves, per sources familiar with the talks."
