Is this a sign that AG might be moved?

Seems like the overwhelmingly obvious next move is to shop Aaron Gordon for more shooting.

Depth move. We needed a backup PF and capable starting F in case AG/Isaac go down. I don't really like this on the surface though. Seems like a lot of money and years for a player like him. But I always hear really good things about him when his name pops up, so I trust he will help the team one way or another. We'll see though.

Interesting. Don't hate it? I'd rather a 2 year deal though.

I know 10 mil a year isn't what it once was but that still seems like a lot to drop on depth where it's not needed.

Trade in the works maybe?

Aminu is a good, not great player. He'll give you a rock solid 25 minutes every night.

The issue is fit.

Seems like Gordon almost has to be shopped here.

Ugh. I don't want to trade AG. Not when he's still showing growth and was our only guy that looked like a playoff performer.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Something else must be coming

We must really be all in on Fultz.

Who needs guard help anyways. They have to know something about Fultz that we don’t.
