I would echo this sentiment. Overall the trade is good, but the timing of the return is problematic. A 2028 1st that could slide to 2029 means the player we get from that pick is unlikely to make an impact on the roster until 2031 or even later.

On the plus side, the further out the pick is, the more likely the Avs could decline and increase the value of the pick.

Unfortunately, the Avs really did not have much more to give. They have 1 draft pick in the first three rounds of the next three drafts and their prospect pool does not have much to offer.
