You think Simmons ranks above Payton in weltman mind.  I seriously doubt it. 

I definitely think new FO values Simmons over Payton.

You guys might get to see me have a meltdown next week

For me, it depends on the return.

There is nothing wrong with that.

I am glad to hear that they are not closing any doors.  This is the only way you can explore the market and see the value of your players and even if there is a 99% chance they dont trade him at least you are doing your due deligience as the GM. As long as you dont write it on a board

Anthony Davis, Beal, porzingis, towns, Wiggins, maybe Donovan Mitchell.  Ok.

That's about it.

Thought about AD the other day.

Porzingis maybe a possibility.

That's it though?

I assume giannis is completely off the table.  

Those are the only guys that fit our rebuild timetable, long term contracts, actual team improvement.  

Forgot Ben Simmons

You know I'm fine with gauging the market but I just don't think I can stand for trading another young guy away. What's the *****ing point of drafting at all if not to develop them and in turn sign them to a big contract?!?! I'm sick of this team.

No to Wiggins or Mitchell. Beal I still wouldn't be happy about.

Giannis, Davis, Capela, Irving, Towns, Oladipo, Embiid, Jokic, Porzingis, Gobert, Simmons. Those are really the only guys I almost fully rate over Gordon as young (25ish or younger) franchise guys (Capela is a toss up because he is really good working with Harden and CP3, not sure he is a true franchise guy yet).

Beal is in the ehh category with Drummond and Booker.

Not sure why you have Wiggins as an OK as he has consistently disappointed across seasons.

AG is a nice young player but if you can get an all star, you do it.
