Absolutely would have to be a trade.
The trade would likely have to involve Reaves imo. I proposed a similar trade for Kessler, but people didn't like that one much. I think they...
Fair enough. At least we send one limited defense offensive player for another. Luka, Reaves, and Duren together might not be the best for use...
I'm not sure if Austin would agree to play there.
I think not bringing back Lebron is something that we shouldn't take so lightly. I'm assuming he will be back, at a great value contract. They...
Follow up with a separate trade: Ayton + Knecht for a 2028 2nd round pick. Opens up more cap-room for us.
Three Team Trade Lakers get: Duren (Sign and Trade Max Contract) Pistons get: Markaanan Jazz get: Reaves (Sign and Trade Max Contract) Why for...
I hope you are right about that. Room level money would obviously be great value for them. I think they get MLE level money though. I'm giving...
Yeah, I think you are right about that. I would shift the strategy to agreeing with Marcus Smart at the opening of free agency for 4-years/65...
Yeah, I think its more than just recency bias in this case: After initially being regarded as washed by many, this season Smart has quietly...
Yeah, that sucks. Which option would you go with? The over the cap option makes it so we could reasonably resign all of Lebron, Smart, Kennard,...
Yeah, they could chose to operate over the cap. They have to determine what the best option is for them. Over the cap means Kennard is limited to...
I hear you about Wiggins. The mental piece is part of trying to duplicate Smart. I moved Wiggins down the list even more now, but there is no...
Yeah, Jones would be low on the priority list. Desperation level and a leap of faith that he would shoot better with us. But, the trade we make...
It's way too early. But, this is where I'm currently at: Renouncing everybody but Reaves; and Ayton opting in and Smart opting out puts us at 53...
That's not enough spacing. Why keep going against the grain on this? It makes no sense LOL.
A Myles Turner would be a great fit on Houston. Sangun is probably on the way out. FVV/KD/Smith/Turner would be great spacing for Thompson.
No Thompson would be great with Luka. Ideally, you just can't really put him out there with an Ayton, Hayes, or Vando. Which is why teams like...
You would have to surround him with 4 shooters at all times. So you would have to go get a stretch 5 to go along with Luka/Reaves/Lebron. It makes...
I agree about our priorities. It's looking like Lebron, Smart, and Kennard will take up the majority of our cap room, if not all our cap room. So,...
