Gets them off PG13 and Gives them a shooter next to Embiids corpse.
We get Ace Bailey or Edgecombe with #3
I would ride
McCain
Booker
PG13
Dunn / Bailey or Edgecom
Richards
Then trade Beal for a big.

Just look at the West
OKC
Houston
San Antonio
Blazers are trending
Denver - as long as they have Joker
Dallas - if healthy
GSW -- they have a couple years with Curry
Lakers --
The Suns have a LONG way to go to relevancy - even getting the 10th seed

TWolves with Ant and Jaden McDaniels keeps getting better.
Memphis is still pretty loaded and young too. New Orleans is also pretty loaded with talent but hurt badly with injuries to Murray, CJ, Trey, Herbert Jones. Also made the Ingram trade, but still have quite a bit of depth, picks, etc.

I don't rate Castle very high just yet. Yeah, there's a lot of things to like but I think people are getting a bit ahead of themselves. I'm not saying he won't be a great player (there's a lot to like!!) but more that the people writing him in as sure fire thing are doing more guessing than an actual procedurally based projection.
But yeah the Spurs are going to be big because Wemby, and then of course the development of the guys around him (including Castle).
If we started a rebuild this off-season and could get our #10 back, I think that would go a long way. I'd prefer to get as many of our picks back from the Rockets than any of their mid-low tier prospects. But that's all wishful thinking because Ishbia is intent on finishing 10th-11th next year.
Top 3 pick for KD is a pipe dream. Bloke is 37 lol.

A post Achilles injury Tatum is better than KD 2-3 years down the track
Why is it even a question since they are about 7 years apart. Achilles tears are horrible but Tatum is young enough to recover from most of it before he's 30... 2 years off basketball and 1 year of getting his game back so 3 years time he should be back to 90% of his old self since he's young.
Well a couple reasons, remember we can't tank. So that means next year with no Tatum is basically the Booker and Beal show. As bad as we were, Durant won us a bunch of games. So our record would be worse next year since Tatum is gone.
Plus the fact that he might not not be the same guy ever again and he just signed a 55/yr deal over the next 6 years.
That said, I'll still do it.

I kind of think the next couple of years doesn't really matter. We're not built to tank, we're not built to compete so at best, we treadmill and maybe make the playoffs if we play all our cards right. Beyond that is what I'm more interested in building. KD won't be here so he's a non-factor but what we can get for him will be.

TBH If Suns got Doncic, I probably wouldn't be able to watch the games. Guy is the biggest baby in the league, He is a James Harden but 70 lbs more.
at least with Luka they'd probably be goodGhost of Kleine wrote:
