We got a nice core in AG/Isaac/Bamba. If a draft pick which with good health, probably will be lower lottery if anything, has to be added, do it. Our goal with this young core with AG who's been here for a while shouldnt be about the next draft but how to play winning basketball. I'm not saying add a draft pick to the core. You can only have so many developmental guys. But trading a pick for a guy you can get in free agency is not having a pick to trade for someone else. Quote

Also I'm not ruling out the fact that another team may come in trade for him and convinces him to resign. That happens. Not desperate but a sense of urgency is needed and if you're talking about a lower lottery pick in a weak draft, the pros outweighs the cons imo. Quote
Fultz4thewin Posted July 13, 2018 Report Posted July 13, 2018 Also this philosophy applies only to kemba, really. I do see the value in trading for one of the future RFA point guards. Quote

We could be the leader of the pack for a starting PG spot with very lucrative salary. Quote
Nyce_1 Posted July 13, 2018 Report Posted July 13, 2018 in a vacuum, Lonzo Ball or D'Angelo Russell for our roster? Quote

There was literally -no- risk for us to take a chance on him. We have no starting caliber PG. He would have been an instant upgrade. If his injuries were too much and he wouldn't be able to play, or his performance was bad, it would have been a 1 year contract at the minimum, we'd be in the same position we are now, with no long term cap ramifications. But if he was able to return to form and have success, we'd be better off with him. There was literally no negative and only positives to signing Isaiah Thomas. And considering we aren't going to use this year's cap space on anything anyways, it's not like we had to pass on Thomas so that we could sign someone else. Sorry, there's no convincing me that not signing him was a good move. Even if he was injured and didn't play a single game, or sucked when he did play, we would literally be no worse off than we are right now. This was a bad move on the part of the front office. And I don't care about "length". There's more important things that go into a good basketball player than "length". Sounds like Al Davis and the Raiders with his "speed". *sigh* Quote
