It is the best path forward for this team in my eyes.



If we don’t trade Johnny before free agency 2021 kicks off, he gets trade protection where he can list 5 teams he can be traded to.
If we trade Johnny at the deadline of course we should get as much as we can but I’m ok to get a bit less now for the gain we get in our first this year. IMO finishing in bottom 6 and hopefully a draft lottery win is a huge add to this franchise. More valuable than trying to add a late first. Would I trade 12th pick and around 26th pick for a top 5? Most years yes I would
