    - A new coach with a system where the players will buy in
    - No more nix and christopher both are worse than trash.

    OG is a roleplayer, Sengun has FP potential. esp his passing and his offensive skillset has more value than OG`s swiss army knife skills.
    Turner is nearly 27..i like his skillset, but i think he doesnt fit in our timeline.
    Trade Wemba, play him next to Sengun an give them time to develope.

    Trading EG and let the HC (whoever) coach is absolutly correct.

    This is my wishlist, not yours haha. Can’t say Turner doesn’t fit our timeline at 27 years old bc it’s clear that we need veterans. Can’t have all 29 year olds. I’d trade Sengun for OG in a heartbeat bc he’d impact winning way more. Toronto wouldn’t do that trade straight up, so we’d have to attached another asset

    Yes we need Vets, absolutly. i would prefer a vet as our PG bc i think it would help our young guys to get easy shots, slowing down the pace when it needed, decrease our TO. like chris paul did it in okc...

    I get that, but Turner fills a huge need. At 27, he’s gonna play at a high level for at least another 5-6 years. Could you imagine the rim protection him and Wemby would provide?! Man!!

    LOL @maj21 with his Sengun hate obsession. No poster on this forum, including @hakeem94, has posted more about Sengun in the last few weeks and months.

    It's real hate.

    appreciate this point. My wish is Sengun as our Jokic, paired with Wemby, 3&D guys like eason and smith and a BC with offensive juggernaut green and a vet.

    and...i would love to see Harden back in 2025 as our 6th man.Man

    You and your KPJ hate. We have different opinions, there’s nothing wrong with that. You talk about trading KPJ all the time. Don’t be a hypocrite

    The problem with Turner is he is going to want a 5 or 6 year max or close to max and he is injury prone at 27. We do need some really good vets at some point, but now is not the time for a max player unless it is a true superstar and far as I can tell there are none available. We need a couple of vets in the 15-20m range on 2 or 3 year contracts. Who those guys are I don’t know either. Conley would be great, Caruso would be great, maybe a flyer on Chicago’s Ball. Hell no to guys like FVV who is just another gunner who is further along than Jalen. Hell no to hog ball Trae Young. We don’t need a center. Sengun will be fine when we have a coach that teaches team defense. It’s why we wanted Jabari and Tari.

    Sengun and KPJ will have very different career trajectories.

    I get that and definitely wouldn’t wanna overpay for MT. The thing is that I don’t think Sengun is fine at center, but that’s my opinion. I just think we’ll never be able to win with him bc he offers nothing on D. I think the rockets front office feels the same way, so I do think there’ll be changes at that spot

    Doesn’t matter. If I’m a Sengun hater, then you’re a KPJ hater. Both are starters on this team. @Clutch and people in the organization feel the same about Sengun as I do. People are just afraid to speak out about it bc of the backlash they’ll receive. There’s nothing wrong with having different opinions. Sengun is your guy, which is fine with me

    + New, proven coach. Quin Snyder would be perfect since we have a college aged team and he’s proven to build a team to consistent playoff level. If he can’t get over the hump in the playoffs the you can bring in a championship coach in 4-5 years.
    + Top 2 pick
    + Aquire Veteran starting PG (trade or FA; Conley, FVV, etc)
    + Trade for Mikal Bridges using combination Milwaukee picks and future firsts (including Nets picks) and a couple young players outside top 9 of roster (Nix, Christopher, Bruno, etc)
    + Sign Montrezel Harrell for cheap for vet hustle

    Profit
