It wouldn’t happen the way u have the deal constructed
For the Risto haters out there, JUST STOP
There are GMs out there who like him, and some who don’t
Obviously a team that trades for him will VALUE him & not think he sucks like you do
So we’d get a good return for him, or he simply wouldn’t be traded
That said, with this deal...
Cj Smith can’t be a part of it, not without something more added
Risto is obviously worth more than Tuch who struggled this season, but not + a 1st
Risto is worth a 1st, but not + Tuch
So as i see it...
that 1st either has to become a 2nd
Or Smith has to be swapped out with a better piece like Thompson, Asplund, etc
Risto = 1st
Tage/Asplund = Tuch (considering the Cap hit difference)
We’d probably still have to add a 3rd to make it work though,
or maybe Smith if they like him?
