how long do you think longterm is 3-5 years?

Yeah if it is similar money give me Favors > Randle. He is taller and has played significant minutes at center. Although I doubt he choses ATL due to him having to be almost a full time center due to Collins here I'd sign him in a heart beat over Randle.

Prince has scored his career high twice on 50% or better shooting in both cases in a 4 game stretch and they lost all 4 games is that him not improving in a "losing environment".

AD is 25 though just entering his prime years If you get 1 more piece next to him you are a contender.

they are 39-30 in a much tougher conference I'd love AD.

I agree unless AD is available and you are able to clear enough cap to recruit other guys to play with him. AD would run through the east.

JS if in the offseason AD decides he wants out if Boogie leaves. This may work attached with future picks Maybe Kent over Schröder but js it all works.

That is my point Doncic seems to be able to play off the ball but best fit is as a point forward ala Lebron (not saying he is just how he plays) which imo is best having guys that can spot up as a 1 similar to how Kyrie and a lesser extent George Hill play with the ability to spot up off ball which idk if Dennis can do with a below average 3pt shot.

I'm all for bringing in an older guy with Doncic who is a primary ball handler. If Doncic is brought in I don't see the fit with Schröder he just isn't a great shooter.

I'm 100% the opposite Schröder is a guy I want traded injury prevents that.

I see 2(Kings and Magic) and us winning an extra game or 2 leaving us at 22-24 wins. Want Prince and Collins still getting minutes don't want wins though.

Prince has 38, 25, 22, and 38 (30ppg) in his last 4 games on 51% shooting and 46% from 3 and over 7.5 rbds per game whats gotten into him????

Yeah doesn't make me less worried lots of players are like that. I'm also in the bandwagon to take him 4-5 due to the motor and offensive upside. He can at least be average on def imo but some worry about even being average and I understand the worry

100% on this. he is definitely raw for how he will be used in the NBA and he isn't exactly the prototypical PF due to his short arms. I'm not saying don't draft him several positives I just don't think he should touch Doncic and lesser extent Ayton. Ayton has a more prototype body and still shows def lapses but Arizona also used him weird at times so I'm less worried about him.

I worry about Carter and Bagley in pick and roll defense.

Yup Ik I also know Lou Williams signed 3yrs 24 million and no teams have cap space. 12-15 million is about a 6th of the cap when Sap signed originally he signed for a 6th of the cap less actually.

If Favors will come at 3yrs 40-45 mill bring him in he is a little more comfortable playing center too. I worry if he will accept being a full time center though. FWIW if Sap would have signed 3yrs 40-45 mill too I would have been happy to bring him back.

Then I don't want him and we move on.

Okay he won't be worse than those guys I'd much rather have Doncic but I think when you get him with NBA coaching it will change especially with Bud who has sent guys to the D-league who were starting or playing for other teams because of defense. If we draft him I trust Bud has an idea of how to fix him defensively. Bud is 100% involved in the rebuild rather you believe it or not he would have asked out when he was demoted if he was going to ask out imo.

Okay relax Anthony Bennett was a big and he is out of the league imo at worst he is Enes Kanter or Greg Monroe with a more evolved game. Okafor was also a top 3 pick...

These are the types of signings I was talking about. I wouldn't mind 3yrs $40 mill for him that is a very manageable contract that can be moved should an experiment of playing with collins not work.

they are 30-39 relax

And I'm saying Sap and Dwight on their current contracts aren't tradable assets.

Collins is not long enough imo to play Center nor a good enough rim protector.

I don't see him as that but hie could bust as that.
