The truest unicorn PF that can play with Bam. For me you go all out here to get Lauri. Not sure what it’s going to take but Jovic, JJJ, Herro, and our 2030 1st and 2 second rd picks can all go out for him. Bam, Lauri, and Butler is it. Lauri might not be the biggest star but he’s the greatest fit of them all. Our front court would be set for the next decade. Fixing everything else around those two in the next few years would be easy.

Quit looking at a single transaction when not talking about your top players, look at what it can do for your teambuilding and what flexibility it gives you.
BTW... I'd rather have Martin at 10-12 million than Highsmith at 5-8.
Hell no! Highsmith at 5m-8m per is a better contract. Both of them are worth contracts in that $5m-$8m range.
I don't think Martin and Highsmith should be worth anywhere around the same amount of money, neither big money but not near the same amount. Miami seemed to think the same thing since even during a year Martin was injured, he played 27 minutes a night to Highsmith's 20 and I'm pretty sure we can all agree Martin's offensive potential is much higher than Highsmith's.

The new rules are basically a soft core version of the hardcap which is why you’re seeing one dimensional players like Buddy hield getting paid drastically less
I don't think Herro is viewed as an albatross contract. A lot of ppl like to trash him every chance they get but the reality is he's too good of a player to simply dump the way some fans want to, and if you're looking to acquire that impact player on a larger deal he has the contract to help make the math work. Regarding Duncan, if they had more picks they could shed him. Hell there's probably a trade they could make right now that involve taking a player back with similar money its probably a matter if they have the appetite to do that vs. waiting on something else to materialize.

I actually believe them on this. We don't have enough assets to even make the call let alone make a competitive offer for Markkanen. If Riles called, Ainge would just hang up cuz that would be a waste of everyone time.

We did call up asking for Mitchell and after hearing our offer good old Danny laughed then hung up.
