After Phil was fired I was hoping they got Masaii, Presti or Buford. Instead they come away with Obama's brother in law and Sacramento's assistant GM. Championship here we come....

Thanks Ā

It would essentially take a Kyrie Irving package of picks to get Buford or Ujiri. A trade for an under-contract star exec was always incredibly unrealistic.
