There we made a move.

I believe he would fit better than Fournier. I believe it would work. From a value standpoint they're equal. So the only reason we give them a 1st is because of the position we put ourselves in and we want to get out of it. It may not be current managements fault but they are still overpaying to correct it. I won't be mad if it happens I just would prefer they make it work without overpaying. I think he thrives with GS. Being the 3rd guy takes a ton of pressure off his game.

Agreed but you don't fix a mistake with another mistake. You don't trade a 1st rd pick and Fournier for a slightly worse player!

Gotta find another way. Giving a pick away due to our own undoing would be awful.

Our bench has zero scoring outside of Ross. We haven't put him in the best position to succeed. Because of this he shoots entirely too much. If we could cut down his shots maybe those handful of wtf shots would decline and better round out his averages. In order to do that we meed competent players though.

AI is not a good basketball player at this stage. 15 mil for a half season to only lose in the second round of the playoffs is the exact definition of getting robbed.

He wasn't aggressive and Fournier/Gordon were good tonight.

Agreed!

Any interest in Alec Burks?

A lot of us said that about Vuch...here we are still around. We are good at being fans that's for sure.

I think it's a non issue either way. Unless/until he pops hot it doesn't matter. He does look a little crazy though lol.

Just happy we didn't trade them Gordon for Covington and whatever else that offer in here was.

I'd guess in division trading isn't ideal.

For the love of God please just take Vuch!!

I don't see much difference between being stuck at the 7-8th seed and being stuck at the 4th seed. I want to continue to trend upwards. No reason to tie up money if we aren't continually improving.

Where does this leave us? Hayward isn't a needle mover. Hayward, Isaac, Fultz, Gordon. What is that 4 seed every year? Idk. I can't tell how much better that makes us.

"Hey look at this potential bench big play out of position and look God awful" SOLD!!!

Towns will never win a ship as the best player. Embid will never win the ship as the best player. AD even being as amazing as he is hasn't done all that much (although I think he is the most capable out of the bunch). Other than that what other big is there? Jokic? I'd still rather have an elite wing over an elite big man. Although it doesn't matter much Giannis isn't a big in my opinion. He's just big. Still a wing. I'm just basing it off of history. If you want a big cool. I rather a wing.

It does to me. The game is not built around bigs. Therefore I'd rather our team not build around a big. A big hasn't been the best player on a championship in ages. AD is probably the anomaly but obviously he isn't available.

Who said anything about straight up? Just because we are shopping AG doesn't mean we are also not shopping Fournier or Vuch or anyone else. I don't know what's available. But I do believe if we are truly shopping AG it is for a player who is an upgrade. Only time will tell. Some player we never think is available usually becomes available during trade season. Let's see what happens.

I'm not a fan of any big man being your best player. Give me a wing guy or pass....

I agree...I'm just saying if they're shopping him it's probably for that all star player.

But it makes sense. AG is our most valuable asset outside of Isaac. If we are looking to make a big move AG would be involved.

Huh?
