Different ways to conclude who won that trade. Looked good at the time. Not so good now.

Maybe Avs saw something we didn't. Not judging after 6 games but in the end, GM's get evaluated in hindsight.

Would you trade a 2nd to get him back right now? I still wouldn't, but I might think about it. Would I trade Hunter Smith to get him back? Probably but not everyone would.
