For Knox, DSJ and one of Dallas picks? Hell no! That's overpayment.

I'm not talking in terms of contract. I am talking that is overpayment in terms of mismanagement of assets. Sabonis is not worth 3 prime assets.

What would I do? I'd sit back and grab some popcorn and let the lottery chips fall where they may. #LaMelo

Nah I get that I was saying that when you’re a lottery team overpaying for assets is most likely what will happen. Especially for someone his age & skill set.

I think he’s worth Knox and a 1st & I don’t even wanna get rid of Knox. DSJ is whatever to me but an asset nonetheless I agree.

Lottery chips isn’t bad but for an immediate fix to our spacing issues while getting a young player, it’s not a bad trade to look into.

He's an interior big that doesn't take a high volume of threes, you put him with Mitch and RJ has no driving lanes at all.


And you want to give them Knox + the Dallas pick? If I see you we slap boxing off GP.

Sabonis has a + mid range shot, stop it. Also, he does hit the 3 and can space the court.

He doesn't take a high volume of threes, you just went to his player page and looked at the percentage, don't front like you didn't. He only took 0.2 threes a game last year, and I don't care about him taking mid-range jumpers, the floor spacing would be terrible with him and Mitch. He's not a power forward either, so we gonna give up all that for a backup? Or you talking about starting him over Mitch........

I didn’t lol. Do you not think I know what Sabonis does? I’m at work right now.

He didn’t take a lot of 3’s last year, but he did with the Thunder. He operates in the high post and still spaces the court from the mid range. If you think I had to look that up, you must not know me lol.

He didn't even take a lot of threes with the Thunder, and he didn't shoot them well there either. I don't want a big man taking a lot of mid-range jumpers, every coach and their momma would happily give up the mid-range to him, and the spacing between him and Mitch would be terrible.

Sabonis will average 20/10 on high fg% shooting on the next team he gets traded to. He is so talented. i think the floor spacing would be way better with sabonis and mitch then randle and mitch. Randle shot decent from 3 last year but still below league average and probably a fluke for him anyway.
