    Guys

    Looking at all these trades proposals and you all are trading the wrong players!

    They are trying to get RID of Sengun, not keep him

    We need another player that can attack the rim and distribute. This sounds a bit crazy, and the fit would be tough but I am thinking about Ja Morant. I would ensure we are protected from his lack of character (which could change but rarely does), and injuries to an extent. Then I am focused on building around Amen and seeing what happens with adding Morant there.

    To Memphis
    FVV
    DFS
    Future FRP via Milwaukee
    2028 FRP via Houston, top 8 protected, conveys if Morant plays 80% of the games in the two seasons.

    To Houston
    Ja Morant
    Ty Jerome
    AJ Green
    Miles Turner
    Future FRP Via Milwaukee
    Jakucionis

    To Milwaukee
    Sengun
    Capela


    Turner/Adams
    Smith/Eason
    Durant/AJ Green
    Amen/Reed
    Ja/Jerome/Jakucionis


    So this does represent moving Amen off the ball quite a bit. Not only this year, but philosophically if things work out for a long time. This also has us going pretty small. Everyone can shoot but Adams and Amen and we don't count on Kasparas much in 2026/2027. Green is locked in on a decent deal for a few years. Jerome can be a steadying presence if all else fails or goes haywire with JA.

    So, trade Sengun for Ja? And give up draft capital?

    Good lord.

    would be so happy with Scoot, knowing the Rockets Jrue would be the target because everything must be Ime related.

    Well, getting Kevin Durant is quite a haul.

    Hopefully they are trying to get rid of KD first and foremost...

    Indy was good because of spacing. KD is an ISO player that destroys spacing. I doubt there interested, but I would make the trade in a second.

    With morant now being in Portland and they traded from their big depth to get him, a SnT with tari eason for a guard could make sense .

    Eason for sharpe ?
