    Luka, AR, Ellis, Watson, Ayton, Smart, Kennard, Oubre, Hayes and LaRavia is a nice team

    Adding 2/3 solid wings to Luka, AR, Ayton/Hayes, Smart, Kennard and LaRavia is a better team than Denver and that's an achievable goal this summer. We will become much better defensively. We are outside the top10 with this group, we need to be top5 to win a championship

    OKC is in another level and Spurs had more picks and got offered Fox. Both are building for years. We can't get there in 1 summer, no one can. But we can chase the next best thing which is becoming better than Denver, and I believe that means parting with LeBron and start building chemistry with a new group

    Seems no one wants Hartenstein? That guy is a winning player and impacts whatever team he has gone to. I’d be interested in getting him.

    His 28 million salary for 26-27 might be too high for us. But, I don't think he is the best fit anyway for us. He's doesn't really block shots, and he's not a lob-threat. He likes to post up and do push shots. Just, not the best fit with Luka. He's been kind of overrated because he was on the big-market Knicks, and then on a championship OKC team. People would see him on national TV a lot, so there is some bias with that.
