    There is no more TANKING or just drafting high draft picks after tomorrow. The 4th pick will be easy to make, just pick one of the Thompson Twins or Anthony Black. Free agency is slim so we need to use our imagination to find a Star or good player. Fred Van Vleet? Not crazy about him but Toronto has enough money to resign him and Toronto’s GM would do that. Harden is a dead deal, he is going back to Philly? Brogdon? To late.

    There is saying, you were a day late and a dollar short. It does not matter if we have over 60 million in cap, we need to be active and not reactive. We never do anything at the trade deadlines, it is always….ALMOST HAD A DEAL?!

    We have Tate, Martin and the 20th pick for something and maybe KJM.




    We are on the clock!

    Tate, Martin and 20th isn’t much to work with

    Sprinkle in a Brooklyn pick or 2 and you maybe get yourself Paul George if clippers are desperate enough to shed salary and refill their draft stock

    I just hope he has the opportunity to do something helpful.
    The draft should be a no-brainer.

    What he does with trades and/or FA'.s
    This will define him.

    I think GM Stone is pretty happy this thread was started.

    A wake up call for him at just the right time. Imagine if he hadn't been summoned??

    don’t worry, our time will come. Our GM has been doing deals since he was 18.

    More deals being made. Good players off the menu. Stone cowering under his desk, explaining to Ime why we couldn’t outbid the Grizz for Smart ;)

    Stone is clearing cap space tonight or tmr... all this cap space space, you just know he's gonna OVERPAY a mediocre player like FVV.

    Prepared to be disappointed tomorrow.

    I’m not looking for a SUPERSTAR from a trade of KPJ, Martin, Tate and 20th pick, but you can get a solid interior defender.

    Washington is giving players away, I would trade for Daniel Gafford.

    Atlanta’s salary cap is crazy I would ask about Capella.

    New Orleans are looking to make changes to their team, what about Jaxson Hayes

    I think KPJ and Martin can get you a interior guy. I would not put all of my eggs in one basket, and hope if we overpay Brook Lopez he would come to our team, and leave a Championship Team with Milwaukee. Milwaukee could extend him next Thursday and we have nothing.

    I would ask Washington about their sharp shooter Corey Kispert. I think we can get solid players.

    1. I love Gafford.
    2. If Whitmore falls to 10, Im fine with giving up more than Tate/20/KMJ. Throw in Eason/Garuba if needed.

    Sengun
    Smith
    Eason/Whitmore
    Green/KPJ
    Vet PG/Amen

    KPJ needs to go, and he needs to take his stans with him.

    Would you give 2 firsts and a player equivalent to Tyus Jones for him? It was a tough outbid.
