    All of them IMO.

    Tucker is a 4/5 but is most effective defending perimeter.

    When paired with Harden, they will take turns defending low post.

    The low post is where Harden is elite on defense.

    Harden is the real defensive 5 on our team.

    My point was that there aren't many guys in the league who can do what Tucker does as a traditional natural 3.

    3 of the guys you listed (including Zion) are superstars , AG is borderline allstar material ....

    Okay, agree if you are saying that Tucker for the cost is difficult to replace.

    Contingent on how he performs in the playoffs, but I wonder if Brooklyn would have interest in EG this summer, and how much would they be willing to give up for him. A Joe Harris sign and trade (on a shorter JJ Reddick type deal)?

    With the success of Covington and small ball, I think we should look for ways to try and get Otto Porter Jr in the offseason.

    6''8', 7'1" wingspan and 40% 3pt shooter. Had two seasons above 43% on a functional Washington team. He is expensive, but damn is he a perfect hit.

    Oubre is shorter (6'7) but longer (7'2 wingspan) and just so much more explosive.

    Would be a demon in our 5 Out Offense and Switch Everything Defense.

    Also like Jerami Grant over Otto Porter.

    Harden may ask to be traded if Tilman dump Gordon salary and does not give Tucker extension.

    Tilman wants 27 million dollars more profit. He loves money more than wins.

    Harden to Celtics for Brown and Smart.

    Where did you hear there are long lasting effects to the virus?

    A long power forward with shooting range. Kevin Garnet or Marcus Camby type

    If Morey wants to dump Tucker salary because of Tilman budget.

    Deal Tucker to GSW for Trade exception and 4 second round picks they got in February.

    then trade those 4 second rounders for a First between 14 and 20.

    finally, draft McDaniels from Washington, stretch 4, nba ready.

    Why would the Warriors trade 4 friggen picks for a declining 35 year old?

    What if we were able to swing these two trades:
    Robert Covington for Clint Capela
    Russell Westbrook for Chris Paul

    I think we've have a very nicely balanced team. A clutch floor general, a vertical rim threat. I think OKC might give us 2 first round picks with the Westbrook for Paul deal, we could use them to further improve the team via drafting or trades!

    I could see that team winning 60 games if we just found another Trevor Ariza caliber defensive wing to pair with PJ. What do you think?

    Nah, with Capela on the team the ceiling is limited. No point keeping that team together, blow it up.
