I think the reactions to the AD (and PG to be honest) trade has everything to do with the way people tend to overrate the importance and value of "First round pick", especially when it's something that isn't going to convey for years and years. Yeah, it could turn out to be a "haul", but there's as much, if not better, of a chance that those picks are going to turn into fringe rotation players or starters as there is that they will become All Stars or Franchise cornerstones. They are never more popular or valuable than they are now, before they convey and you have to finally put a name/face to it. It's like the loot box of sports transactions.
