THAT WAS THE PRICE FOR 1.4?!?!

Oh my god I would have paid way more than that for Murray!!! I'm ******* sick right now@!!!

Hahaha I was very surprised to see how little 1.4 went for as well. At the very least a future first to go with this year's picks.

I think I was really the only one with Counselor trying to trade up to 1.4 so Lukic could not get a bidding war going. And given that I wasn't going to part with my top 3 picks of next year, Lukic had the choice of getting the best deal possible from me/Counselor or staying put at 1.4 and get a player he didn't necessarily want to take there. 

I got lucky this pick wasn't such a hot commodity after all.

Lukic and I spoke briefly but never even got into any details of a trade. I have Murray ranked 18 and I like him, but I couldn't justify trying to move up to 4 for him.

Exactly. 

I lost the trade in value terms but unless someone came in with a great offer, it was a losing proposition regardless as I was either committing another 5.5k in salary to an unproven player who I'm not enamored with or taking below market value in a trade.

With this FA class looking weak at G, Zeitler's pretty valuable to me and I can easily package 2.11 with a mid-late rounder to get better value on another prospect in the teens.

You also get some benefit out of this as you and Whicker have one less competitor in free agency for Ryan/Jimmy G/Cam
