For real! Don't wait for everybody else to make their moves and we get left with scraps. The winning move would be to give whatever is necessary to acquire Fox and Carter.
They’re not trading Fox this season. They’re on a 4 game win streak and trying to trade for Cam Johnson
And what would you win? We would still have 0% title odds so it would do nothing for the current rockets while losing a ton of our assets.
It would give us a minor to decent boost in our offense and get us in the top spot in defense. Almost immediately. Guaranteed! They are already 3rd to 5th best team in the LEAGUE as is. So, yeah.
Draft a 3 and D SF with the Suns 2024 Lottery Pick. Trade Cam Whitmore for a PG that is 3 and D, great passer, speed. Is Payton Pritchard available from the Celtics?
No, I definitely agree he doesn’t have that mentality at this time. I believe he could turn it around like Jalen Green did under Udoka. Green with Silas was a wuss who didn’t play an ounce of defense, but Udoka has turned him into a man and now he makes 35mm a year. Lots of posters don’t like him on this board, but he is a more competitive athlete, no doubt, under Udoka.
Yes they do for chemistry purposes for whoever we will eventually pickup. It makes more sense to do it now than later.
