    His value was entirely different than the 18 months prior because he was at that point an expiring. I think we gave up too much, yes. Unforgiveable, no. Glasses are fogged by a disappointing season.

    Who is the move no one sees coming? Due to lack of apparent possibility or sheer randomness? Biggest on that list would be Kawhi. Because?why would he come here? Also we may not have the money for him anyway.

    Walk it backwards from there and stop at tour most probable improbable player to use this money on.

    He's going to opt into his deal and likely miss a majority of the 2021-2022 season.

    Not fogged at all. OKC shopped him for 18 months then Griff fell deep in love and decided he doesn't ******** with assets

    All time ************ bag move using 3 assets and THEN a 2 year 40 mil extension, not even a second trying him next to Zion before blowing our load

    Just try and reconcile that for one hot minute

    He's leagues worse than Dell for me

    He's completely mismanaged the Zion era

    Why would you give a dinosaur era Centre 40 mil?

    He's not on the team anymore and it took nothing to get off of him. Relax. The "Zion era" has effectively been one season

    Soo if they are listening to offers on SGA, I can't imagine they would be interested in BI. Seems like they would be trying to trade for Houston's pick at #2 and then tanking for the #1 pick next season.

  12. #187
    Yeah I'd love SGA. I doubt it happens, and I kinda get why they might move him (hes due an extension, it's probs gonna be a max, and they may not want to lock themselves into that so early into a rebuild) but if we could acquire him that would be cool as hell.

    Yeah I agree. I feel like one of their major potential reasons to move SGA is the lack of desire to commit to a max at this stage of a rebuild. Why would they then move him for a guy who is already locked into a max?

    Only coz more 1st round azzetz

    I would love SGA but it depends on what we have to give up. I truly believe we will see NAW and Jax blossom this year and I don't want to give them up to get SGA (I would include Lonzo in a heartbeat with draft picks for SGA though).

    We'd have to give the rest of the LA picks and the Bucks picks and a few of our own to get SGA.

    I would so do it. Your starting 5 would be: Zion, BI, JV, NAW and SGA

    I think they where only interested to give him up for Cade.

    That's basically a bigger haul than we got for AD. SGA is good but he's not that good. Plus, the only team in the NBA who can outbid us in picks is... OKC. So clearly they're not in it.

    2 players of their choice not named Zion and 3 firsts, that's where I'd start.

    The other thing about SGA is he's making 5.4 million this year so you could very realistically add a Duncan Robinson in addition to Shai

    I would rather give up the picks instead of the players. We need the young core players to compete. If we give those up then we will have big holes in the lineup with rookies trying fill the gaps. I do agree it is a lot to give up though. I would prefer this to having Lowry for a couple years.

  22. #197
    I would literally lay out every pick to OKC and tell them, Just take whichever you want. Give me SGA TODAY

    I forgot to include swaps, but include those too. All picks unprotected. Would they really not consider it?

    Hell no. What is everyone smoking? SGA is a good player, but hasn?t proven squat as a winner. I wouldn?t give up that many picks for any player in the league. That is just ridiculous.

    If you don't get a budding superstar which I think SGA is then you become the Celtics. Acquiring a bunch of picks and taking a gamble that you hit on a player in the draft. I believe in our young core so go and get SGA. Let these young guys grow together.
