    I don’t know if we have that guy on the roster yet, but whatever we do, we at least need to keep the Nets pick.

    We can get rid of the Suns one if needed.

    They got the date wrong, it should have been 2026, but yeah fewer stars but lots of decent players in 2027.

    They shouldn’t trade any of their picks and I’ve been saying that for a long team. Every year they need to have at least one good first round talent brought onto the team. You see it clearly that our bench has very little upside. Some players just aren’t going to cut it and this team is not as deep as you think.

    In the last years many teams gutted their future for a win-now move.

    Only for the bucks did it somewhat pay out with a championship but they're going to pay a huge price for it once Giannis leaves. They have no control over most if not all of their draft picks until like 2032. That's a long long time...

    We have a lot of draft capital. Trading 2025 pick made sense cuz there was no one at #10 level that would’ve satisfied our needs. Maybe Malbauch or however u spell his name would’ve been better that Clint Shitpela
