If we don’t plan on resigning him and are trading Vuc too I think I’d do it. That or try to get a young talent for him. He should be highly coveted by contenders this year. I think the best move for him is still to try to trade him in a package for fultz if that’s in the cards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’ve been Mr. Go-for-the-Playoffs. Trading Ross for a first rounder only makes the weakest part of our team significantly weaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,206 Report post Posted January 12, 2019 I’m only trading Ross if A) he says he has no interest in re-signing or B) we get somebody like Brown or Fultz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like Ross a lot but there is no guarantee he signs with us (see M. Hezonja) unless we throw a lot of money his way (overpay perhaps???). Pelicans appear to be headed for the lottery (and that chance will even be better if they trade AD). Then if we could move Vuc to Boston and get either their Memphis (preferred) or Kings pick (both also probably lottery picks) plus Rozier I would be ecstatic. Probability not that high but I can dream!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d be in on that for sure 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaceman 58 Report post Posted January 12, 2019 The only problem with all these trade scenarios where we end up with draft pics is this team hasn't properly developed a young player since when? You tell me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You tell me. 1. It's hard to develop guys when you have had incompetent point guard play 2. It's hard to develop guys when you run an old offensive system due to personnel Looking back, I wish we never had moved on from Jameer and JJ. Yes, I loved Harris, but the presence of those two and their style of play would have meant the world for a young team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
