    Bad comp.

    Thorpe didn't wilt in playoff games and Drexler led a team to the Finals.

    This is more like trading Junior Bridgeman for Kareem.

    At minimum 2nd to 3rd round

    Maximum Finals-you know which trophy

    Anything else: Go fishing by your retirement home, KD.

    Counterfactuals always have problems. Would Mobley have developed as he has under Silas? Silas, the guy who didn't like post play? Also, if we draft Mobley, we probably don't draft Sengun, who I think is more of an impact player.

    Wish there was a “cautious optimism” option. I think how I feel about this trade comes down to his extension. I’m not sure how I feel about paying a 40 year old KD $60m for his final year.

    Simply put, Have KD teach Jabari the way of being a big man shot maker. Then we're set for the long haul.

    I don’t know why you are so upset. It’s not like Jalen has done anything amazing when he was here. He had a job to do and guess what….he did not show up. So, just like any other job, he got replaced. It’s his fault he is not on the team, no one else’s.
