    At this point, I kind of want to see it get as bad as it can, **** it, let's go full Ime, pick up Smart and trade for Dyson Daniels.

    I feel like we are set until the trade deadline. That's when teams under performing will look to get expirings and Fred will probably waive his no trade clause, because he's not happy with his role. DFS will be expiring too.

    FVV doesn't have a no trade clause now.

    That's bad??? If we can get Dyson at a good price I'd be ecstatic. I know you're being facetious but Dyson has tremendous value around the league as one of its premier perimeter defenders (like Amen). He's probably worth multiple first round picks.

    Sure, he's absolutely an Ime type player....amazing defender, but probably the only wing in the league that can make Amen Thompson look like Steph Curry.

    I say we go full Ime and try to create the worst shooting team in modern NBA history. We lose every game 74-43, but there's so much effort on defense!

    He had an implied no trade last season because of the player option, the second he picked up that option, he lost the no trade.

    FVV lost his NTC the moment he picked up his player option. But yes, it might be easier to make a deal at the deadline.

    Uhhh, yes he does. The Rafail no trade clause is way better than anything in the CBA. Just ask Tater.

    I wouldn't mind going after Dyson and Lonzo Ball. They'd be the cleanup crew Dyson Ball.

    The Dyson, Ball, Amen, Smart, Sengun lineup would be the chef's kiss of shooting incompetence.
