    We sign Tobias Harris and I’m out LMAO, that was a bad idea 7-8 years ago, he’s 33 now.

    I don't love Tobias, but he beat Rui in almost every metric last year. If he's paid less than Rui, I don't have a problem with it.

    Time to target Ant TBH. hope that lamelo trade crashes them out (wolves made that dump gobert deal so no tanking).
    Real chance they get a lot worse in unexpected ways (good regular season complete crashout in the playoffs when defenses get real)

    Rebuild the draft prospect and frankly take on some bad contracts to get first round picks. It's pseudo rebuild but this team is nowhere near close to contending without Lebron/Smart around. There is a real chance right now this team is significantly worse next year, the way this is going

    If the Jazz offer is only 27 million then yeah, we have to try and get him especially at this point.

    If we get Tobias Harris... my lord... what a joke that would be.

    Honestly, we've already lost our main FA's in Lebron, Rui & Smart, so just put in a RFA offer for Watson at 34m and trade Ayton, Vando and Jake + 2 firsts for Kessler at 34m

    That's 4 guys for 155.5m and makes the core moving forward. Sign Ellis as the 5th guy and Spencer Jones.

    Luka (49.5) / x / Bronny (2.3)
    Reaves (20.9 -> 41) / Carr (3.3) / Knecht (4.2)
    Ellis (5) / Spencer Jones (3.2) / x
    Watson (34) / Adou (2.1)
    Kessler (34) / Hayes (6.5) / x

    + Room

    We'd need to hit on a few vet minimums. Notably: backup ball handler and a backup big. You could probably still bring back one of Smart or Kennard for the room or get a Sandro.

    I hope we don't waiting on Harden.
    James Harden to give Cavaliers flexibility, possibly for LeBron James
