I'm telling you, they are going to take their lumps this season while praying for Fred to get back for the playoffs. But whether that happens or not, if they lose in the first round they will empty the entire treasure chest for Giannis. He's the only obtainable star who plays Ime's game - isos, rebounds, and defense above all else. They will ship out Sengun, Reed, and a boatload of picks to get him. Write it down, call it in. They aren't going to give up anything of value before the summer.
Adams and Tari plus the Nets 2027 1st round pick, top 5 protected for Andrew Nembhard. Adams and Tari for Andrew Nembhard works on the ESPN trade machine.
Houston In: Jamal Shead Toronto In: Top 10 protected 1st Rounder and filler Shead is looking good in limited numbers in Toronto...wonder if they would let him go for a future first
I was so frustrated when Stone passed up Jamal Shead at #44, the ultimate assist/defense guy who fits Ime's system and from local, instead traded for Griffin who freaking retired just a couple months later. sometimes i wonder if Stone really know much the league personnel as a gm should. the team really needs to get Stone some help for intelligence gathering job
Deuce McBride would be a perfect guard fit here. Looks like he's having a hell of a year so I doubt the Knicks would be entertain that. Other than that Monk and Dosumno look like the best options. Tari, filler and a protected pick.
