we had this year with how the draft unfolded. Not a knock to the players we have but I woulda took

zhairre with our first pick, carr and spalding with our seconds and then added pinson and watanabe and signed them to 2 way
deals

Tony Carr - Monk
Zhairre Smith - Lamb
Theo Pinson - Batum - MKG
YuTa WaTanabe - Marvin - Frank
Ray Spalding - Zeller - Willie

That woulda been friggin dope and I might have been able to do it by trading 11 back a few spots to grab zhairre and being
able to pick up an additional player. That is unheard of it that were to pan out without having to have made any trades and doing so in one draft

Then we could trade kemba for 2 future first and be friggin set. and everyone there is unselfish so they coulda geled. star potential in carr, zhairre, watanabe and spalding and theo because he can play multiple positions


You left out LiAngelo Ball. That guy is a knockdown 3 point shooter that has goat potential.

None of the guys you have starting would start even on that team lol. Every back up is better and it’s not even close.

That's not really opinion...I'm actually fairly confident that team would go 0-82. I also love how you somehow think that Kupchak regrets what he did because in hind sight he could have had that mess...lol. Hell, you changed your own ratings drastically every hour or so leading up to the draft...We are well aware by now of the players you are in love with and wanted, I assure you.

Then again, you could just be a very high level troll, in which case good on you.

I propose we trade UNCNYC for 8 second rounders.

I think the next big move is a sign and trade with the Bucks for Jabari Parker or to find a third team to send an expiring to the Clippers for Tobias Harris.

I don't feel we have the assets for either. I also think with Batum back to his natural position, the plan for Miles is power forward. They'd be double paying for Love, Harris or Parker.

It's a shame because I feel our roster is one player short of making some LOUD noise. I'd be willing to part with a first round pick but I don't know if any of those teams would bite on it. That's a tier of players GM's are willing to bid high for. I wish we had better assets.

Jabari won't cost that much, the Bucks are probably at the point where they'd be happy to get a halfway decent asset/player for him. And given their cap situation, they'd probably be happy with Frank and some 2nds. Miles is also a rookie, I don't think it would be an issue for us to bring in a 3/4 that can score for a year or two while he develops. I agree though that trading for Harris is a long-shot, we don't really have a lot they'd be interested in other than draft picks.

Frank is better than Jabari. Hornets would lose that trade. I'm not really against trading Frank or getting Jabari ... but straight up that deal is bad.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

Hell no to Jabari. Im with MI on thinking we only need one quality player and need to offload some as we are simply too deep. Quality for quantity exchange is needed sorely.

All in for Jabari. I’m on that bandwagon.

I would find it very hard to believe that Jabari is worse than Frank. I know he sucks at defense but Frank ain't exactly Bruce Bowen either.

I wish we swooped on Porter when he broke that guys head. He's turned into a good young modern style Pf

I thought he played well last season coming off a second ACL tear and he’s only going to get better if the injury bug is behind him. The Bucks seemed to play better when he was on the floor and involved to me by the eye test.

I strongly believe whoever can steal Jabari from Milwaukee where his skill set is redundant will reap the benefits of him entering his prime where he’ll be an all-star caliber player from his mid-to-late 20s.
