So now looping this whole thing 🔄
I saw someone w similar Randle Rudy for Kyrie Turner reshape — what they were missing were the picks coming back. Only value add trade for Rudy for players coming back involve Giannis or Kawhi (subject to diligence) .. anything else that just brings pack players less than that w/o picks is selling low, which doesn’t need to be done. But what does need to be done now imho is a redemption (think of a bond being reddemed) for the picks originally invested. With Rudy coming up on player option, his value is going to cliff or nose dive as more of a rental type later (rather than an investment type player now). The value is debatable tho 2-3 frp’s seems right (not 1 or 4 as explained here). So if
#Twolves can frame as having received really steady and valuable income from Rudy over last several years (which they did), there is no better time now to re-invest the proceeds into something more aligned with team needs 🐺
