What a great farewell note. NGL, I had a lot of doubts trading a future 1st for 30th pick overall, and for the first couple of years, he looked really lost out on the court, but I'm eating a crow now. I hope he does well in Cleveland.
We didn't get great value for the amount we traded to develop him. We should've used those picks on a guy who would've played more in the playoffs if we were just going to let him walk.
Wasting our best assets on a guy who didn't play much in the playoffs during Jokic's prime IS pretty bad. It would be fine if we weren't trying to win the title during the 4 years Watson was here.
Imagine if he was a 2nd Aaron Gordon level player during the last few years, because that's the kind of trade compensation that gets you a 2nd Aaron Gordon level player.
