Changes for the West Coast

To be fair, although we traded out 3 first round draft picks, we also effectively have got back 3 or 4.

Caldwell is a unique circumstance, in that it was our first round pick in 2018 that he was drafted with (by GWS) and we got him for less than that in 2020, but given the predictability of the first round of picks, we may well have picked him anyway even if we had kept it. And of course we got Archie as compensation for Joe leaving, and Reid as compensation for Saad leaving (who we didn’t even use a first rounder on ourselves). And that isn’t even allowing for the fact that because Joe went we got Peter Wright who is another first round draft pick who is 3 years younger than Joe, and we got for less.
