    And he’s had knee injuries which shortens the window especially how he plays.

    That would mean we have to trade Sengun. I'd be very hesitant but it is enticing

    This would be a dream come true, but it will take all the rest of the Phoenix picks, plus the NJ swap, and the Dallas swap. I would still do it. We would be one of Amen or Sengun getting a decent 3 pointer away from a championship and still have most of our core young players to compete if one or both go off the deep end.

    Tallest stating line-up in NBA history possibly if this were to come to fruition with Amen, KD, Tari / Jabari, Giannis & Adams :)

    Let's be real. But how about: FVV+Landale+Whitmore+Jabari+Sengun+FRPs?

    Adams
    Giannis
    Eason
    KD
    Amen/Reed

    Probably a lot more than that. Giannis is 30 years old and still in his prime, trading for him would probably gut our team and really hurt our depth, which would be fine if Durant was also 30 years old but he's not, so we have no time to add depth the next year.

    We can only choose between KD or Giannis. Getting both would gut the entire team and doom them to a 4 yr window of glory and then mediocrity after.

    KD is old we cant be losing our depth his mins neef to shortened to 30 mins a game.

    You could still do this deal.

    FVV
    Amen
    Durant/Tari
    Giannis/Bari
    Adams

    Would be fun to watch for the next 2-3 years.

    We’d still have Amen and Bari/Tari. That’s enough to build around for another reload in 4 years or so.

    If Amen Bari and Tari are enough to contend we'd be in the Finals by now.
