Looks pretty good to me.

Love it for the Bucks.

Brooklyn says no.

Maybe this is not enough for Brooklyn but given that they did not get a first neither for DFN nor for Schroder, to get such a valuable first unprotected is good value for CamJohnson.

Dfs and Schroeder were on expiring deals they were never getting a 1st. Cam J is an above average 3 &d wing on a playoff team. He will get at least 2 1sts or a 1 with a high upside young player.

As someone else pointed out, Brooklyn hangs up the phone laughing. They can do so much better than a pick 6 years from now.

A pick that can be Top-5 for a good starter/ role-player at 28 getting numbers while playing in a bad team.
You probably should check the market: PJ Washington for 1 mediocre first and a role player, Gafford 1 mediocre 1st, Poeltl 1 first, Porzingis no 1st (all of them on non-exp deals) .
