    Lauri is not worth all that. If 3frp are given, you don't give up Jabari and Cam.

    We need to upgrade the SMALL FORWARD position or this will not be a successful off-season. I know about the addition of Steven Adams but we need a upgrade if we are going to keep up with the West. Making the playoffs in the West is not a given, we need more talent

    No we don’t. Brooks, Eason, Amen, and Cam can all play the 3. We need to figure out which one is going to be our permanent starting 3, not find a temporary stopgap.

    If suns blow up, Booker is more ideal if we’re giving valuable picks. Use the others including FVV to steal Fox

    I'd prefer Booker. I think that will have to wait until next offseason.

    In the west you need guards, east you need wings…. A center is also needed in both as well. We need an elite guard
    would have to possibly give up Jalen if Booker is the guy. Even if we don’t give up Jalen, both can’t play together. Look at Beal and Booker now… We still need a point guard. Go get fox

    If you can 1. Remove Cam from this 2. Turn one of those first into a swap, and 3. Have an agreement on Lauri signing an extension.

    Then I think it’s worth considering it.
    The Pascal deal should be a market comp, and he only went for 3 first and expirings. I expect Ainge to get a better deal but it shouldn’t be that much.

    I didn't see any fit problems with Beal and Booker. Beal was broken down, but it didn't seem to adversely affect Booker.

    Since we're forcing teams to give us a superstar,
    Brooks + all of the picks for JJJ

    Yeah it's the only trade I want. Booker is still too young for the Suns recent owner to give up on. considering how difficult it is to find a Booker.
    Suns can fail 4 more seasons before they even consider moving him.
    Everybody else that could be available, our young guys will surpass them soon.

    Donovan Mitchell? Let the Cavs stay with him.

    As far as destination, I doubt Grizz would take Dillon again, not that Dillon isn't useful, but they already made their choice. They chose to pay Ja, Bane, and JJJ, and not pay Dillon. JJJ is considered their core; he was a DPOY. They even let Adams go to save some money; I doubt they going to take on Dillon's current contract.

    exactly. they're all crack pipe dreams. Patience is the best trade scenario for the next 7 months

    That trade just got the Jazz in the playoffs and Rockets sitting outside of it.
