Giannis will be 30 this year

and his game is mostly based on athleticism / physicality. 

You make good points.

In that scenario, we would have a starting lineup of:

Trae

Bogi

Hunter

Giannis

OO

The #1 pick would be going to Milwaukee so no Sarr in that situation.

We'd still have DJ to trade for better fits elsewhere.

Also, a trade with the Spurs requires us taking salary back and they have a bunch of low salary players other than Vassell and Johnson.  So what would that look like?

I'd want Sochan back in any deal with them.

No one is safe also means him celebrating #1 also means he's celebrating another of his teammates getting the boot. 

Just to play devils advocate some more to the freak out crew lol. 

He very well may just be "#1 is cool, but it also means Clint goes toodaloo and I don't want to celebrate that"

Your posts have been so refreshing throughout these insane past 24 hours. Appreciate your voice of reason. I hope you've helped some people calm down. Which is insane that I'm even saying that after we just landed our first ever #1 pick.

role player that's made an all star team

role players are not all stars

you feel you have to be ridiculous because other people are?

I'll rather trade the pick 

you have no pick to trade if you're in the process of being eliminated from the playoffs.  Sounds like you prefer being on the treadmill than planning for a title. 

"Draft Clingan so we will at least be in the playoffs next year"

That means nothing to a lot of us.

maybe still playing

I'd rather have Sarr

Lmao, what? Clingan is already better than Kessler as a prospect and if Kessler was on this team with Trae, we would be in the playoffs and maybe still playing

you can laugh all you want supes. They say there's no better medicine. 

I've had my share of laughs today... I'm starting to feel selfish.

I like Sarr here.  Highest potential.  Sure he could bust but Clingan just isn't ever going to be more than an above average player.  Can't shoot at all so we won't be able to space the floor either.  No thanks.

To me, Clingan has a floor of bust and a ceiling of role player. I want no part in him. 

Just sign Alex Len if you want a big stiff. 

Come on down Sarr!!!!

Or trade back and pick up additional 1sts

It’s the entire premise for trading him.  

says your imagination

Yeah, IMO Castle is the guy if he is there at your pick and Risacher, Sheppard, and Sarr aren't there

I like him but if we're getting back Dyson in a DJ deal, and we have Kobe, Bogi.... seems we still have the crowded back court minutes issue. He's versatile enough though to where he doesn't compound it too bad.

Cavs have pick #20, not #21. 

I don't think the Pels are giving up enough to get Murray AND 10 AND Allen.  Hawks should still be getting a future pick from NOP.

Questions:

1. Is it worth moving down 10 spots to get Herb?

2. Who do we draft at #20 - Ware?

 

yeah that trade is bs for us.

2025 Sac 1st plus Bogi =  Salary relief

2025 Sac 1st plus Hunter = Salary relief

2025 Sac 1st plus Capela = Salary relief

Or some other combination?

You forget who messy ressy is bird???

Probably losing Trae this summer anyways so…

why would they lose Trae this summer after they traded Dejounte to NYK this season? 

3 minutes ago, Mikey said:

He stopped playing with a point guard like lonzo. This tweet from Grant Shirley is a direct comment on what BI said in their exit interview that he wishes they target PG and his best season came playing off jrue and lonzo 

That's a good point @Mikey

I sometimes do this at work. In the morning. It's ok man... it's not your fault.

Dejounte is a horrible defender. You guys got to stop talking about his reputation as a defender from his lone SA year where he did well. He is only a good off ball defender. On ball he is awful and it doesn't matter what position he plays. Coby White just gave him 40 in their last game. DJM cannot guard a parked car

Now you've got me intrigued. What's your description of BI's defense?

17 minutes ago, Mikey said:

Murray does literally nothing better on the basketball court than BI. Better scorer Bi, Better defender BI, better playmaker BI. Bigger Bi.

The bolded is the only one I can agree with. Everything else is debatable. And I noticed you didn't mention anything about rebounding. 

And the bit about BI being a better defender really hurts your argument.
