Or even better???:

p.s. Kerr is a Hall of Famer on coaching. I would be OK with Horry getting a statute at Springfield. 7× NBA champion. WOW.

Luke Walton has as many NBA titles as his father Bill Walton.

You can get 9ppg 3D SG easily for the minimum, but we rather spend 25 mio for one and instead refuse to get at least one decent PG. Even minimum player Tyus Jones who was ignored for ages in Free Agency would’ve do wonders to this mess of a roster.

I dont feel comfortable with Paolo at SF. honestly, i think Giannis and PAolo have more overlapping skillsets than Paolo/Franz.

IF Dame is medically retired, Bucks would end up with whole bunch of money for retool.

We've seen a lot of teams with money strike out in FA...although maybe not as attractive a market as MIL :roll:

However, the new CBA might play a big part in good players with big contracts being moved (more than in the past), so it might work out.

Having Giannis in-house is certainly an incentive to join in...but, if Dame is toast, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Giannis moved for the pick & prospect haul that DAL should have gotten for Luka.

So...Hachimura and Cam Reddish for Giannis confirmed?

Rui the best Japanese player in this trade.

But in reality, is Dame even close to retiring after this?

Dallas looks to even miss the play-ins. As they were a NBA Finals team LAST year, wow.

It'll be interesting what San Antonio does with Vassell. They have Castle, Fox, Barnes, Sochan, and Wemby.

Cole and Carter for Vassell works. We'd have Goga and Moe at center. We'd need to find a 3rd center.

Right.

But one was an MVP and the other a towel waver.

Bradley Beal to Orlando for Cole Anthony, WCJ, Gary Harris (Team Option), Caleb Houstan (TO), Jett Howard and KCP.

Beal has next season of $53 million and 2026-27 season player option $57 million.

Paolo with a legit shooting threat would do wonders for this team

No GM should take on Beals contract.

I've tried to rationalize a Beal move ...just can't...he's not even that good anymore. That deal is just insurmountable...on paper, he's a good fit - but he's just not that guy anymore-at any price.

Maybe they'll get enough draft equity back from a KD and/or Book deal to soften the blow for another team...but that'll be for a team like BRK or WAS. Even then, if PHX bottoms out, they might as well wait 2 more years and just let him expire instead of trading away their future - again.

*Not to mention the No Trade Clause :nonono:

they can't aggregate either - unless they make a KD deal first to get under the 2nd Apron and they have ZERO frps under their control. IF they got under the 2nd apron...maybe they'd sacrifice a Ryan Dunn?

ORL sends: Isaac, WCJ, KCP
PHX sends: Beal, Dunn
