there is alot here to say but 1) maybe giannis would only sign for 4 years, who knows? 2) the vasquez trade was for a 2015 second, and a conditional 2017 1st, that was never sent. i said at the time it was a dumb, but look at the back half of the 2015 draft, there ended up being nothing there. the pick was used for Norman Powell, who did little (besides the 1st round of the playoffs against the bucks this past season) 3) i didn't know about the MCW or 1st round pick, the 1st round pick would have been nice, but they still turned MCW into Snell which is a nice player (albeit overpaid). was it for philly's 2015 1st, i doubt it. 4) i have criticized (and will every time) not letting restricted FA's sign offer sheets to determine the market. the bucks cap situation is a mess, because of bad free agent signings. now it appears that they will have to give away picks and young players to get under the cap, which sucks. to say though that there hasn't been any good basketball moves is being overly critical though IMO
