When PATFO traded for DeMar DeRozan back in July, I was less than pleased. And though this had more to do with my prior (and naïve) hope that a point of reconciliation with a certain crustacean-appendaged small forward was on the horizon in the form of a super-max contract (as well as my long-standing fondness for Danny Green), it also had a lot to do with one of the players we were getting in return.
I hadn’t paid enough attention to Jakob Poeltl to warrant praising or protesting his addition to the team.
