On paper, sure. But I'm not giving up the 18OA for him, and I sure as hell wouldn't add Zary to it.
Another factor here: trading the 18OA (or even the 32OA) for Rossi makes us a little better this year, which means worse picks in the 2026 draft. VERY expensive strategy, especially for a guy who is not someone you build around.
My expectation for the 18OA is to get someone of Rossi's caliber, with the hope that we do better than that. Trading it for Rossi is short-sighted, derails the rebuild, and eats up the cap quicker than the rebuild should be planning for.
Patience, people.
