As they said, b cause Larry could have a whole new team in a weeks time, that pick could certainly be a lotto pick easily. That wasn't my question. If a single first round pick is too much compensation is too much for Brandon Knight and relieving him of Al Jefferson's monstrosity of a deal then what's the correct price? I'm giving him a 80+ rated player who is just 25 years old, locked up on a cheap long term deal and taking on 20+ mil in pretty much dead salary for next year. That's not worth a first round pick? What's it worth then? only a 2nd rounder? Would any of you guys do this deal for only a 2nd? I sincerely doubt it. This really confuses me, I can't see any logical reasoning for a reject. Quite simply, there are two sides to every deal. This is more about protecting Larry than you getting an amazing deal. It also seems not everyone values Brandon Knight like you do. There is an argument being made that Knights contract is also a possible negative. Just not as cut and dry as you are making it sound.

Yeah... like Walt said, it's more about the other side of the deal. And is that contract really cheap? IMO paying knight 16 million doesn't seem that great.
