That’s way too good of a deal for us I’d have to think. That’s a henny move for dallas

If we get kemba from them I think they might drop so low that we might finish ahead of them so I don’t think they would do that

If we were to draft Ayton do you think Dwight would be a good mentor for him?

It would depend on the protections

Matthews, Noel and a top 5 protected pick for fournier and vuc would be awesome but unfortunately I don’t think they would do it. Would be interesting to see dsj fournier and vuc play together though and see how they do

I’d rather have Dwight than Batum. Batum’s contract might to be the worst in the NBA. At least next year we would have a huge expiring contract with dwight

That’s 2 good showcasings by players we want to trade. Fournier the other night and Payton tonight

I really like this draft

I think we are drafting a pg this year. Clarkson would pretty much be a lateral move. He’s not the answer to any of our problems. Trading for Clarkson to me is a henny move

Hahah them auburn boys go hard! Extremely excited we finally have a basketball team. Bruce Pearl is the best thing that happened to the program since Charles Barkley

I dont know if anyone else is keeping up with auburn basketball and I know I’m being a homer but Bryce Brown looks like he could be a great second rounder. He gets hot from 3

Only 3 mill guaranteed

The anticipation is killing me. I want to see what this FO can do!

Wouldn’t it only be next year? Shumpert expires after 18-19 and in 19-20 we can waive Smith

That’s the beauty of the NBA draft right there my friend. And honestly we’re at the bottom. What do we have to lose lol

I would think we would have to include Simmons and maybe Payton

I don’t think they are that bad of contracts. For a contender like the cavs they are but for a team blowing it up like us I wouldn’t really mind them too much for just 1 season. What I meant was that one player in the range of the 4-10 pick wouldn’t put the cavs in a great situation to rebuild. If Lebron and IT leaves they are absolutely screwed. They have more bad contracts than just Smith and Shumpert. They’d be in a worse boat than us I believe. We have at least started our young future core with AG and Isaac. So an additional guy in the 4-10 range would help us out a lot more than it would them. That pick wouldn’t need to be our savior just someone that can be a starter and fit our system well and grow with whoever we choose with our pick, AG and Isaac. I’m expecting a guy that could be our franchise difference maker/savior with our pick as we should have a much better shot at the top pick I dont know I formulated all that to where it makes sense but it does in my mind kinda lol

Maybe they can have it top 2 or 3 protected because outside of that I don’t think they aren’t going to find their next difference making franchise player. Therefore it’d be worth the gamble to improve the team and shed bad contracts in order to convince bron bron to stay

We need to showcase Payton Fournier and Mario as much as we can before the trade deadline

Well at least he would be an 11mill expiring contract then

I think I might take that. The Brooklyn pick has potential to fall. It could end up being a top 6 or 7 pick when the season is all said and done. Meaning we could land 2 of Ayton, Young, Doncic, Bagley, Porter, Bamba, or Sexton. Shumpert next year could potentially be used as trade bait since he’ll have a nice expiring contract. Also smith is only guaranteed 3,800,000 in 2019 so we could waive him then

Malik Monk and Trae Young are already friends we need to make this happen! Build some team chemistry finally

I would love if we can pull that off. We would actually be able to give him some good minutes right away if we get rid of Fournier and Mario

So he is human

This is the new front office’s first year. I’m not expecting the world. I liked their offseason acquisitions in Simmons, Birch, and then 2 vets that actually wanted to come here in Speights and Affalo. They are also currently motivated to sell Payton and Fournier who I can’t stand to watch anymore. Only move I can complain about is not drafting Donovan Mitchell which not even the Utah Jazz thought he was going to be as good as he has been. I’m really interested to see what their first trade is going to be like since we have been getting fleeced for the last few years it feels like.
