Screw everyone else, we should just be accumulating as many assets as possible to prepare for the Anthony Edwards trade request which I think will come in the summer of 2026 or 2027. Keep developing Herro and Bam as top offensive forces until then, develop the young guys obviously and when we slide Ant in we will

Ben Simmons actually would be a good pickup with the 2nd unit but his agent is a fuxk boy so it has no chance of happening.

I’m curious to see who comes up though, if we can just cut Keshad to add a good piece we need to do it

The Suns could not have done any worse this trade deadline, Jimmy ruined another organization except this time he did it from the outside :lol:

KD can come off the bench if he wants. 15 mins a game?

Ben Simmons? The guy afraid to go to the rim because he might get fouled? You guys flay people on smoked layups. What do you think will be everyone's collective reaction when he has an open lane and decides to pass it to Herro which has 3 defenders on him instead of taking it to the hoop?

I think we got a better shot at Cade but that’s just me linking it to Jeff Schwartz lol. Cade escaping Detroit to Miami sounds nice. Remember we have 3 Jeff Schwartz clients in Love, Herro, and Jovic so definitely a solid connection.

I don’t see us partaking in the buyout market unless Burks request a buyout himself to get more playing time with a contender. Playing time is going to be at a premium all over the board with this roster. My feeling is we stand pat unless we really want Bruce Brown who is the most likely of targets. Brogdon will be great here but there will be plenty of high profile suitors. Dallas is the most likely landing spot steered by Klutch to join Anthony Davis.

I'm still hoping Smart gets bought out and joins Miami. Still disappointed GP II didn't land in Miami.

I’ll take Cade but I have a feeling we want Ant, even moreso than someone like Luka. His relationship built with Spo and Bam on Team USA help, hopefully him and Herro build one during the All Star break

Supposedly neither brown or Brogdon will be bought out. At least that’s what was reported yesterday, you never know

The pieces on this team are perfect for a star to land right into. I'm intrigued by Trae Young but his FG% sucks man

Best playmaker in the league though by far, shooting numbers are definitely down from his normal but I think that would change here. We have the defenders to hide him and Herro now too, would’ve definitely been fun. He’d work wonders for Bam Ware and Herros games

If this happens, I think the main piece moving out is Herro. Can you win with an Ant Herro back court and paying them 100M+ per year?
What are the parts and salary matching we would be sending to Minnesota next year?

You could argue Wiggins would be a cheaper and better fit next to a dude like Ant. And we will have to pay jovic. Decisions will have to be made. If we can find a Stephon Castle type point guard with warriors pick in this draft, it'll be built for ant to step in. But herro would be the sacrificial lamb along with like JJJ, send them kyle anderson back and some picks.

But that's 12 months away
