Cavs were a very mediocre team who lucked into the #1 pick 3 out of the last 4 years, twice when they have less than a 2% chance of doing so. That's the only reason they are where they are and why LeBron went back and why they could trade for Love. If you think the Cavs are a well operated team, then you're crazy. They're the very definition of shitting bricks and getting gold in return.
Your 100% correct - lucky James wanted to return home & lucky to win the lottery pick but still the cards fell there way and "lucky" now they will be a force!
All I am pointing out is free agency and trade season anything can happen. It's not all mastermind
Sometimes it's the cards falling the right way

There's no way they will trade Danger for any other player, memberships alone would suffer too much. Danger and Tex are untradable purely from a PR perspective, let alone their talent and match winning ability. I could see Sloane and pick 10 for JC being worth consideration...prob not good enough for GWS though.
Sloane? You are crazy

Except wouldn't Ryder be a free agent due to the drugzzz?
Not from what I understand, the Dons are in the box seat as he is still on their list to trade him otherwise he goes into the draft.

Surely this is a win-win-win. Bigger win for us IMO. But still a fairly good deal for all.

Take note of the NBA and how the operate!
E.g - the cavs went from a team full of young talent and the top draft pick = they extanged some of that talent and cave away the draft pick to gain the best player through free agency and a all star through trade. Then got in some experienced players for peanuts

They went from shit to a likely title contender very quickly!!

Point is anything is possible and don't discount the shit teams from being active this off season
AFL isn't the NBA, we're just not there yet!

Actually if he can walk away from the contract due to a breach by the club, he becomes an unrestricted free agent and Essendon get nothing in way of compensation is my understanding.

Aish will be a gun and I would comfortably throw pick 9 his way rather than risk it on a KPD
Correct weight. With just one preseason, Aish had a great year for a junior debut kid. I think he will develop better than a risk pick 9.

Pick 9 is no guarantee of a gun. Aish has demonstrated the qualities where he could be a gun.
