If we knew Johnny was leaving, yeah I would’ve done that. A move like that would do two things:
1. Kicks off our rebuild with a #2 pick.
2. Kicks off the “tanking” portion of the rebuild by making us a significantly worse team for 22/23, with more selling trades to follow.
Would it have been ideal for just #2? No, and I think NJD was probably adding to it in that move…but it would have been a strong step to rebuilding.
