There’s a possibility that they might not even make it to the play in. KD is unhappy with the team and his trade value has dropped. How much gas is left in his tank at the age of 38?
We don't need instant gratification, there's no available trade this summer that will vault us into the OKC/SA tier. We need to showcase talent in 2026 and save all our FRPs for a clear #1 franchise player. Given his history, I expect Lamelo to be on the shelf before the trade deadline, and ANT's restlessness will begin to snowball... Sending vibes of disgruntilization ~~~~~~~》》 ANT
* Trade DFS with 3-4 SRPs for B.Portis * Use the TPE on Q.Grimes instead of Smart * Vet.Min. signings: Jock Landale, Kyle Anderson * Re-Sign Tari/Holiday/Okogie/Tate Sengun, Adams, Landale Durant, B.Portis, K.Anderson Kawhi, T.Eason, J.Tate Amen, Q.Grimes, Okogie T.Jerome, Shepperd, Holiday, Thornton this team will be legitimate contender for the next 2-3 years. and then when KD/Kawhi retired use the cap space and the 27'Nets pick and 29'Pho/Dal. pick to build around the young talents (Alpy/Amen/Tari/Grimes/Shepperd)
