Off-season needs to get here already so people stop pretending they're gonna be the team that signs SGA.

Selling off Tre Jones $53/1 alongside Melo $65/1
10 and 6 point guard last year, shooting 50% from the field. Not a bad backup option for teams.

The Luka, SGA, Booker, and Brunson sweepstakes is going to be insane.

Always looking to wheel & deal
El Poochio wrote:Ahead of the trade deadline;
Lonzo + picks available for an upgrade at any position, can give 26 Heat 1st or my 25 - 27 1sts depending on the player. My pick can still end up being Cooper Flagg so I would be looking for a difference maker
Isaac available as well PF with 87 DEF
MJ Burks and Hield also available, ideally would want backup big but open to different type of players as well cuz I feel I have enough gunners in here
KP has been a monster in the sim so I can still go all in this year surrounding him, or cash in and get someone younger who will fit the LaMelo - Green - Zion core. Zion - KP works well together so I wont be desperate to move him
Let me know if you see a deal that makes sense for both parties

Just think, at this rate in about 15 more years and 15 more gems you'll make up for that Brandon Ingram contract.

The Luka, SGA, Booker, and Brunson sweepstakes is going to be insane.
I predict SGA re-up’s in Clipper land.
The other 3 could be had.

It basically comes down to Hoffa and I've had frank conversations with Hoffa about this. He'll either pony the **** up or he won't. I've got a lot of cash, I'll get more, and I'm gonna use it. It could happen though. He has more.

For sure. Brunson, in particular, is 100% changing teams. OR one of the other Big 3 is on the make.
