He has the size to man the SG or the SF position and he'd be a great mentor to guys like Kobe and Jalen.

This dude is probably my ideal trade target this summer.

Who/what are you trading for him?
He's extension eligible this offseason, how much are you offering or do you let him hit RFAcy next offseason?

This is the reclamation project I wish we'd have pursued years ago...

Is it too late?

He's probably going to be overpaid by someone this offseason, changing his effective role, and then he won't be as productive. 8-)

IH ain't big enough to protect the paint. He's perfect with the Knicks. They have size and a lot of defensive players to make IH focus on his job. Whereas Atlanta has Trae, you gotta have bulk or you look rotational like OO. He's having a career year in NY this year. Really leveled up under Thibs

This league will only have more skilled big men coming into the league to attempt to contain Wemby. Our focus this off-season needs to be finding one that can not only start but be an all-star. Easier said than done but the draft has a couple of options.

Dejounte's trade value is increasing by the day.

If Pelicans want to attain him this summer, I'm demanding Trey Murphy III as the centerpiece of any NOP trade. He's the next Klay Thompson and fits perfectly at SG next to Trae and Jalen Johnson.

Pretty much Wemby or Jokic.
Otherwise, I don't see anybody else helping Trae become successful.

I'd love to get Kyle Anderson in here as the backup PF next season. he defends, he passes, he hits from deep. The perfect role player for a team built around Trae.

He'll be expensive, but I'd love to get Malik Monk in here as a combo guard next to Trae and Jalen. He'd be catching lobs from Trae and Jalen all day long.

Who needs a Klay Klone when we could possibly get the actual Klay here?

This feels like a solid shopping list to choose from this offseason. Getting as many players from the upper, left quadrant should be the goal.
