I like those trades a lot. And I like the prospect selections a lot too. The trades seem pretty fair for all teams. The 2025 first round pick from Jersey can include protections like making the playoffs. If they don’t make it, it becomes a 2nd round pick.
Tough trades to get done though. Once you are at the draft, teams love to wait to see who is available at their pick before deciding if they want to pull the trigger on trading a pick away or dropping back in the draft. Can’t make the trade with Jersey before making the trade with Detroit so Conroy would have to convince Detroit to give up their pick before the draft or when Jersey is about to pick.
