IDK giving up next years first doesn't seem all that risky to me...seems like using it would be far more risky
Plus if the season crashed and burned there are roster players that could easily get you back first round picks...Benning is basically giving them away

The guy has a neck injury serious enough that HE WANTS to have disc replacement surgery! The team wants him to fuse a disc! This is not a knee injury or a shoulder injury it’s a lot more serious and hasn’t even been resolved! Let’s see if the guy can ever get healthy again before trading for him.
