Sorry guys, as I always preface, I really don't like to veto and only do so in rare occasions but this is one of those deals that no matter how much I try simply can't justify it.
1st round picks definitely have nice value, and White might be decent once he comes back healthy but it's the fact both these 2 picks are going to be late (Philly should be 18-20th and Suns probably 13-16 range). I get the Aaron Gordon Precedent but in my eyes Lavine is significantly better which is why Gordon deal had no issue. Especially this year I consider Lavine a superstar (and he did finally make allstar team) plus fact his efficiency is so good despite high usage only adds value. Maybe if this deal was done last year or year before I could find a way to justify but he is simply worth significantly more to me especially given the salary paid.
I'm all for Hakws rebuilding and if at least one of the 1st rounders was projected be in the top 3-5 range would be easier to approve (even if I still might think Lavine is worth more) but as is with both picks being back end of draft I have to
Will leave this up to rest of TC to decide what happens.
