While it is "potentially" a huge piece for us, Ross is an "immediate" huge piece to either Philly or the Lakers, who are already better than us. The big question would be do we think Fultz or Ball, when developed, will be much better than Ross's contribution. I am not there yet. Ross’s contribution isn’t worth all that much if we suck. That would be my only argument at this point because I really do like Ross Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can offer him a 4/56m extension today and every day until free agency. If he's open to that we should probably keep him. If we think he's gonna get 4/64 or something more than that we should flip him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he doesn’t sign then trade him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeHateMe 697 Report post Posted January 29, 2019 Why would we want to lock in another multi year contract when this team is still multiple years away from being anything? Not saying I don’t like Ross, I do. But if he’s the guy that can net us a good young PG prospect like DSJ/Ball/Fultz I cant fathom not wanting to go that route. Also Ross isn’t without his flaws.

We can still sign him until free agency. And like I said his short term money allows for more options if we want to include him in a trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Originalticketholder 133 Report post Posted January 30, 2019 NBA turning into a clown show when they fine AD $50,000 for his agent making a trade demand publicly. That's the way to treat your stars??????? So what was that fine for Irving and Butler? Same clown show that last year fined the Lakers $500,000 for tampering with Paul George then fined them again for tampering with Giannis (second offense) $50,000. That's how you get results--lower the penalty???? Same clown show that fined Dallas $600,000 for saying they were tanking and fined them nothing when they actually did (playing no starters the last game or two). New anti-tanking lottery rules take effect this year.......the tanking is about to begin but no team will call it that....lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fines should be consistent but the real clown show is players demanding trades to specific destinations and those teams you mentioned tampering is bs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
