I think the Lakers have room for a max or near max contract next year. They won't trade for CP3 and screw up their cap.
Who in the MAX range coming out next year that will go there? I understand the idea LeBron is in WIN NOW mode Rocket River
Its time to capitalize on this opportunity. Josh Hart is a guy u want on your team if u are building towards something great. We know Stone likes him because he tried to get him at the deadline last year. From Yahoo: Portland has given rival teams the impression that it is open to discussing the majority of its players, particularly Josh Hart and Jusuf Nurkic, sources said, as the franchise remains committed to building a playoff contender around Lillard. Portland has engaged teams with an eye toward size with athleticism, plus wing-shooting defenders, sources said. Hart has become one of the buzzier names among league executives this week, as he's expected to decline a $12.9 million player option for the 2023-24 season.
So the Knicks won't deal multiple #1's for Donovan Mitchell, but they are for Anunoby? ..... Okay. The Warriors cannot defend anymore, not shocked they want Thybulle, but will they give up a #1 with limited protections? The Rockets need to be listening on Tate, KMJ, Gordon and others.
I absolutely would move on from Tate. In fact I propose moving Tate for IND's FRP this year. IND has 3 FRPs this year and a NEED for a PF. IND has had interest in Tate in the past. My guess is Stone is too attached to Tate to move him which is a mistake. GM's can't get attached to players. I think Stone is too attached to his "finds." This is a big weakness of Stone. He needs to CHURN the roster. He is keeping guys too long. He is too reactionary as a GM. Needs to be faster and more proactive. I would like to keep KJ. But if you get a FRP in the 10-14 range I would move him. And obviously it has been BEYOND time to move on from EG. This has been ridiculous. The fact that Stone already PASSED on a FRP for EG last draft is ridiculous. If Stone can get a future SRP for Mathews I would move him as well.
Rockets won't be bidding on OG, but if the Knicks are, we should see what we can pry from them by giving them some additional ammo. I'd offer the Bucks' FRP and Tyty for Quickley.
If reports are anywhere near correct and Stone is afraid of making mistakes, he is walking on eggshells, not doing much is like making a mistake.
