I think for them, it was trying to get Giannis some help on the offensive end. They have guys like Crowder, Portis, Lopez, to help with defense. Not to mention TyTy to take over the reigns of the team.
The Bucks also would have been forced to pay Jrue like an All Star to keep Giannis happy, or trade him and piss off their franchise player. Both options more than likely would have limited the ceiling of the Bucks and Giannis would have walked.
As opposed to paying Lillard like a mega-star... ? I think it still limits their ceiling. But I suppose that depends on the view one has of Lillard.
Every team fights to compile as many stars as possible. Sells tickets for sure but doesn't seem to be the best recipe for a championship without lebron
I wonder what FO is going to do with these draft picks. I hope we get some trades going to bring in veterans to help out from the bench. Our roster is already filled with young ballers still trying to develop in the league.
So the way I see this is a roughly 40% chance of having a top 4 pick. The Rockets pick (1-4) protection may be worth more than the Rockets pick 5-30 even though there is only a ~26% chance the pick ends up in the Top 4. Those 3 SRPs have to be traded if the Rockets don't make a trade prior to consolidate talent.
FVV / Amen Green / Tari Bari / Brooks Sengun Timelord Not sure what we would need to give up for Timelord, but if that's the 8-man rotation we're rolling with, inject that into my veins RIGHT NOW.
I think that’s a bad trade for the Celtics Awesome for Portland, Rob can be flipped for another first immediately, Brogdon should bring in a few seconds On top of Williams being a target, KPJ + 2nds for Brogdon also would make a ton of sense for us.
