Washington/Vancouver trade

[RyanJames5]

receives:
Danilo Gallinari 1(2020)
.5M pd in 2019 & 2020

receives:
Zhaire Smith 2.6(2021)
2nd Rd pick 2021

makes this trade to acquire another high upside young talent.  Smith by all accounts has the upside to potentially be a star once he develops and I can afford to wait a bit on that development.  While Gallinari has been solid, he was more valuable to me as a trade chip.  Thanks and good luck to Vancouver.

Usually wait for both teams to confirm, but given last deal got vetoed will say still not a great deal for me, but it's clear both teams still want to do it and I did say adding 2nd may be enough to at least make it passable.

Waiting on confirmation and other feedback before voting.

Grizz confirm

Gallo will be traded soon in real-life so he won’t be a focal point in the offence wherever he goes like he is now where it's just him and CP3 and the youngster SGA. He'd be a 4th option mainly for stretching the floor wherever he lands.

Plus like RJ has said he's very much injury prone especially with the minutes he's been playing this year since OKC sucks. He won’t get 33+ minutes wherever he lands either, so production will dip.

If Smith and a 2nd doesn't get it done I don't see much else I can add, for all the reasons listed so far. People are probably looking at his per game averages but not his actual games played.

He’s a bench player for me in case of injury or rest down the stretch. Good for points, 3’s and some boards with good FT% but doesn’t get to the line that much in general.

**Also, it’s the SAS 2021 2nd Round pick that I own in this trade

Still consider Grizz getting the much better value, but a 2nd rounder being thrown in makes me feel a little better. Wizards are obviously maneuvering for the future, and if Gallinari doesn't hold a place in it, then an extra pick will and maybe Zhaire can carve out a role on his next team. Definitely don't love this trade, but it just barely flies in my book.

Ok 2nd is officially enough for me to

I don't like this trade.

But both parts agree and they gave a lot of reasons. Only time will say if Zhaire could become something but it seems difficul
