By now, Portland Trail Blazers fans are well aware that the Deni Avdija trade with the Washington Wizards was a Joe Cronin masterclass. But with Avdija's star breakout, the trade has now become so lopsided in Portland's favor that even Wizards writers are admitting their own team's regret.
John Canady of Wiz of Awes recently published a piece highlighting the Wizards' regrettable decisions, with the Avdija trade now climbing to the top of that list.
"However, through all of their regretful decisions, there may not be one bigger than the team's impatience leading to them trading away a player who looks destined to become a future All-Star," Canady writes.
