    Because by mid-season deranged CFers would be clamoring for Stone to trade half of them for some 38-year-old fading superstar.

    I get your perspective, but Sengun is much better than you give him credit for. I might trade him for six picks as well. I could be wrong but I believe Ant, Flagg, Wemby, and Amen are the next set of superstars. Ants going to demand out sooner or later. Flagg will be a superstar at least by year two, year one unless his coach is Ime who would never start a rookie on purpose. He is that good.

    We will agree that we disagree.

    But this is what I don't get, people understand that Sengun is much better if the team supplies
    spacing. (3-point shooters)

    Amen would be much better if the team supplies spacing (3-pt shooters)

    Ant, Flagg would exceed with 3-pt shooters surrounding them......?Jalen Green?
    The same Jalen Green that is one of the fastest, most athletic players in today's
    game is what?......chopped beef?

    Somehow Jalen Green needs to be able to carve through a packed paint without
    3-point shooters.

    Ant has: 3P% mini-soda currently ranks 3rd in team 3P%
    DiVincenzo 37%..............(7.0 attempts per game)
    Naz Reid 42%..................(5.2 attempts per game)
    Mike Conley 38%.............(4.6 attempts per game)
    Alexander-Walker 40%.....(4.2 attempts per game)
    Dillingham 44%................ (1.9 attempts per game)

    Cam Whitmore, Jalen Green, Tari can be stars of the game.

    Only one big big has won a championship in the last 16 years.
    Jokic when teams were tanking and Denver beat 6th, 7th, and 8th placed teams.

    The skinny tall centers get there more often than the Jokic, Embiid, KAT, Sengun types.
    But they are champions of the regular season winning MVP's. You know individual awards.

    Still no. You're trading Jalen in almost every scenario, adding 6 FRDPs and Jalen hasn't even come close to who he'll be. Men fill out at 25. He's not there. He could easily be the best wing in basketball in a few years. Your patience is confusing. Six first rounders and our highest upside guy before he gets there? GTFO.

    Ride with HTOWN's current finest, baby! WOOO!!!
