A few days ago, I posted a Trade Proposal in which the Toronto Raptors trade Jonas Valanciunas to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Tristan Thompson and the Brooklyn Nets #1 draft pick now in the Cavs’ possession. While the idea is admittedly “out there”, I’ve been disappointed in the quality (or lack thereof) of some of the comments I’ve received. For the first time since I’ve been doing this gig, I’m publishing an entire response to comments.
The nub of the negativity seems to revolve around the idea that Thompson and the pick are an overpay for JV.
