Just to clarify, Chandler would have been the only expiring we could have used in any trade where we send out more than 1 player. Waiving Rivers hurt our ability to trade for a player in the $10-$15M range, but he could not have been included in any Jrue/Conley/AD trade.
Ariza.
Not really applicable here unless you want to argue we should have held on to him until the deadline to see who became available. I was happy to see him go immediately.
And neglects Oubre’s arrival, wich allow us to trade both Warren and Jackson if needed.

I wanted him out of the rotation, but I would have remained patient and sent him home while we looked for a trade partner. He should never have been traded for anything other than a PG. That is certainly applicable.

I would take Bridges, Holiday, and Mirotic over Jackson, Warren and Ariza if NO insisted on both in the deal. A backup SF could be had for a second round pick.
