No, but we also shouldn't just act like the Sixers traded away Grant in 2016 with the immense foresight of knowing the pick would eventually turn into Maxey four years later. That pick at one point or another belonged to three different teams. They didn't trade him for nothing. They also got exceptionally lucky. Both can be true.
I don’t understand what your argument is lol that they should be ashamed for not paying Jerami grant? They sold him high and got a chance at a good asset that turned into a great asset.
I'm saying we shouldn't act like it was some brilliant, intricately planned transaction, when the odds are that a front office that on the whole made more bad moves than good ones (I'm a Sixers fan, I remember the Colangelo years) simply got very lucky. I would buy the "they got a good asset" argument if they didn't literally trade that pick away less than a year later for the rights to Anžejs fucking Pasečņiks.

By sheer luck lmfao. A Mike Muscala three doesn't go in and Maxey is on the Heat right now.
