Goga would be the back-up center. I get that. Yanic would be the third string.
I understand what you are saying. It does make sense.
TRADE RUI + KLEIBER + KNECHT TO UTAH FOR COLLINS AND OUR 27 PICK BACK
You are right. We owe the 2027 to Utah, so that would violate the Stepian rule. Imo, Brooklyn would prefer another first over Knecht.
GOGA COULD DUNK THE BALL, WHICH IS GOOD. BUT IS HE GOING TO BE SUFFICIENT LOB THREAT OFE LUKA?
LAL: CLAXTON + #26 BKN: KLEIBER + GABE + MILTON + 2026 1ST + 2031 1ST
TRADE FOR A 2025 1ST, THEN WE COULD TRADE OUR 2026 AND 2031 1STS. THIS WOULD BE BRILLIANT. EXAMPLE: 1. TRADE KNECHT+SHAKE+GOODWON TO ORL FOR...
Both Goga and WCJ are very mid. I don't like Ayton falling in love with the mid-range. Williams would be good, but idk where we stand w/that...
I guess DK+Shake+Goodwin for Goga + #25 works. I would do that one for the pick.
Bro Goga is mid.
I get not wanting to overpay, but there’s this idea that standing pat is neutral, like it preserves the status quo. That’s not really true. Doing...
So let me get this straight. Utah is just gonna hand over both Collins and Kessler for Rui, Kleber, Knecht, and a lightly protected pick. Alright...
Claxton is also switchable though. That's why he would be ideal.
That's a good point. We already traded for Williams. I wonder if part of the trade being rescinded was JJ telling Rob, "wtf you doing man, im...
Okay, so you are saying just scrap the switching scheme and go with a traditional drop big that covers for the permitter defensive mistakes? I'm...
Hopefully Utah or Brooklyn drafts a center. If we do, then we could feel good about getting either Kessler or Claxton.
We still end up with Kleber, Vincent, and Milton, which s about 26.5 million in expiring contracts. That gives us flexibility. We could use those...
Let’s actually break this down piece by piece instead of reacting emotionally. Rui is a solid player, but we have duplication at PF. He’s...
Fair enough. How about Rui + Vando + Knecht + 2027 protection removed + 2031 1st (unprotected) for Collins + #21. Way more balanced.
That's a little ambitious imo. The actual trade would probably fall somewhere between your trade and my trade. I usually tilt my trades a little...
