I've also stated that less teams will trade for Wall because of the 1 year rental). Three best friends. Two college teammates. Kentucky brotherhood.
3. Wall re-signs with Pels + Bledsoe + Boogie + AD + Veterans who wants to ring chase --> Championship contending champ
4. If we chose route B, which is to wait until Wall becomes an UFA rather than trading for him, then I'd trade Jrue, Diallo, and draft picks for Booker. ***I don't think this step will happen, but it is possible.
5. Now, we really got an all-time Kentucky superstar line-up in Wall + Booker + Bledsoe + AD + Boogie.
PLEASE QUOTE ME ON THIS IF, AND A BIG IF, WE TRADE FOR BLEDSOE AND/IF Boogie re-signs. Then, I can almost ascertain that the dominoes will fall for us in a good way.
DO NOT SAY ANY OF THE STEPS BETWEEN 2-5 IS UNREALISTIC UNTIL WE KNOW FOR SURE WHERE BLEDSOE ENDS UP.
Like I said, step 1 needs to commence before the rest of the steps can happen (one can argue we can straight up trade for Wall without waiting on Bledsoe being on the team, but I am not going there).
