    No way Jose. Talk about upsetting the apple cart. Neither KD or Giannis want to be no 2. Plus, in 3 years Amen is going to be greater than Giannis.

    If DFS was healthy, it would be a good trade...without Bari or Tari, we'll be too thin at the wing

    I wouldn't give up on Amen quite yet...he's a consistent jumpshot away from averaging 20/7/5...he's only 22 years old and playing the hardest position to learn in the NBA: point guard -> in my opinion he's playing out of position (best at playing a forward).
    Here's my take: I would prefer centering around a trade package of Reed for Lamelo Ball.
    As I mentioned in posts earlier this season, Reed's defense is not always good enough to justify/match his offensive production...I dont care about +/- metrics, eye ball test shows if he keeps getting hunted/beat on defense, it shifts the momentum of games hence why Reed haven't been closing out games lately or starting.
    LaMelo has the physical traits to be a decent defender and honestly he hasn't been part of a winning culture (the Hornets are historically a losing franchise)...I think Ime would bring the best out of Lamelo just like he did for Jalen Green. In addition, we'll have FVV to mentor Lamelo which is what he desperately needs in this point of his career.

    Good, I want Jokic or SGA to obliterate his arse.

    Apparently he's the new punching boy for a few posters now that JG is gone

    I don't get it but I guess there always has to be a guy for people to come out of the woodwork and complain about any time we lose a ballgame
