Grade The Trade #8: Payne/1st

[Carlos Danger]

February 10, 2015

Traded a 2017 1st round draft pick (future 1st round pick was later selected) to the Atlanta Hawks for Adreian Payne. (1st round pick is reportedly lottery protected from 2017-2020)

Horrible deal.

Even though I'm a frequent Payne critic, even I will say that it's still a little early to conclude this one. However, based on results so far, it looks like a terrible trade.

Doesn't look good at this point but with a rookie and unknown pick it's to early to truly rate this trade IMO.
