I was literally coming here to say this.
Normally, I'm the KY guy but KY isn't in a great place right now haha (although Oweh is a pretty good guard, I could see him as a 3+D guy in the league, he's great at driving the ball)
But yes... Acuff would be a great add.
I don't post here much anymore but when I saw the trade, I knew I wanted to come on here and see what the forum was saying. I think I agree with most of the group in being okay with the trade, even if it was probably a little heavy handed with picks. I don't think losing 16 this year is anything major.
I would love another trade to give us a PG. I don't know if I trust a starting backcourt of Bane and Suggs. Even though I know Suggs is really good. I think I would rather him be a key 6th man, getting a playmaker at PG.
Is there a world where we could trade for Fox? If the Spurs (knowing they won't get KD) decide to build around Harper (2nd pick) and Wemby?
Shams did say that he's hearing LA is not the destination.
I doubt Miami. That's a dumbster fire.
New York is attractive. But Orlando isn't a bad consideration. I think people can see a future with Paolo/Wagner/Suggs
I threw this trade in the machine and it works
Orl gets - Fox + Monk
Sac gets - Isaac, Anthony, Harris, Howard, 2026 1st. Probably cutting Harris.
You could throw in another couple of 1st if you need.
So the depth chart is currently:
PG - Suggs / Anthony / Black
SG - KCP / Harris / Howard
SF - Wagner / De Silva / Houstan
PF - Banchero / Isaac
C - WCJ / Goga
Unless my math is off, we had an estimated 50 mil this summer and we've spent 37 of it? 22 for KCP, 7 for Harris, and 8 for Goga?
If you trade Anthony / Howard / WCJ for CJ, would CJ run the point? or does that push KCP to the bench?
Yeah...I get it, we all want flash moves, but honestly, what move could we do this offseason that would make sense and shove us to top 4 in the east?
Even if we sign PG, I would say that we aren't better than the Celtics, MIL, 76ers, or NY.
I would rather than wait to make a splashy move for someone who fits the timeline of the other players we have. For example, if the cards fall right...I would like to see the Magic go all in on De'Aarron Fox. You put him with Franz and Paolo and Suggs? Yes please.
So if a move like that is not available right now, then just wait. Why pay for Hartenstein when we had Goga and they essentially do the same thing but Goga costs a penny? I don't really get the Harris resigning unless you're making a trade but we will see.
Sign Paul George, Sign Caldwell Pope, Sign Tyus Jones
Bring back Moe, Joe Ingles, Fultz, Goga back on friendly contracts
Trade Cole Anthony to the Rockets for Amen Thompson
Let Chuma, Harris, Kevon Harris, and Admiral Schofield walk.
PG - Jones, Black, Fultz
SG - PG, KCP, Suggs, Howard
SF - Franz, Thompson, Houstan
PF - Paolo, Isaac
C - WCJ, Moe, Goga
Do we want Klay? Is there a general feel from the forum?
My opinion is that he's washed and I'm fine if he wants to come but the price has to be right but I would rather give a serious offer to Paul George. Pairing someone like that with Paolo and Franz would be epic for their development and he can still ball since he carried that Clippers team for most of last year.
Honestly forgot about this site until last night...haha but I feel like the Magic have played really well after that first two games. Proud to see them push it to 7. If they can win...I actually really do like their chances against the Celtics. I think they match up well with them, even when they're healthy.
Pistons trade Monte Morris to the TWolves for Shake Milton, Troy Brown Jr, and a 2nd.
Not the exciting trades I was hoping to see haha
I need some of these teams to go for it.
I'm not upset with this move. I think we needed a vet like this to help the young guys. Plus since losing Ross, we could use that legit 3pt threat.
I expect some sort of trade to happen at some point though. Maybe not this summer but definitely before the deadline. Too much of a log-jam at guard.
