Hart is still playing a low amount of minutesin NO and look to be mostly used on the perimeter, i really think he could be a nice get here, especially for Miles. He is locked on a more than cheap contract. And he keeps improving year by year unlike Beasley.
Kinda avery bradley profile wise and a more than tradable asset once Hornets gets a (potential) all star upgrade at sg

I'm really glad this board isn't in charge of the Hornets roster. Geez.

If KAT wants out of Minny, would you guys be willing to give up future first/s for him?

We don’t have the assets period. We’d have to give up something crazy for him. Probably three first, PJ, Graham, and salary matched and we’d still be outbid. In the event the Wolves accepted, we’d suck so bad KAT would complain here. No reason to target him. We should be targeting guys who many do better in a different situation. Rozier was one of those guys.

Yep, Min isn't winning now and I don't think putting him on this roster without our young core would be much different in the win column.

I've read the NYK untouchables are only Barrett and Robinson, but I wonder what it would take to pry Mitchell Robinson away from them.

He is the type of big man that I want here and he's super young too. I doubt the usual Rozier + Lottery protected 1st would get him, but he would be ideal. Ship Rozier out, draft a SG and roll with...

Graham
Draftee/Monk
Bridges
Washington
Robinson

Then you’re forcing yourself into drafting a SG and if that is a reach then you basically have the same team for two years. Furthermore you’re banking on that SG being a difference maker when it is an easy “bust” position. Nothing I’m doing involves a 1st round pick unless I’m getting someone who is potentially a perennial All-Star. Picks are just too valuable, you need all the chances you can to land a generational talent. Plus things don’t usually work out for us when drafting for need.

Towns is a loser.

No to Towns!!!
Towns is a talented player no doubt, but we need to complete this rebuild the correct way. Trading numerous assets for Towns speeds up the rebuild to win now mode just like we did a few years ago. I want a true competitor for years, not a team fighting for the 7th and 8th seeds every year.

Also, Towns is great on the offensive side, but isn't very good on defense. We need a defensive minded center who can protective the rim, while also being able to work in the flow of the offense.

If we want a center, stop trying to make the playoffs and give your best attempt at getting in the top 3 to pick James Wiseman.

Luke Kennard is reportedly available for trade. He is a knockdown, consistent shooter from deep and would be an upgrade over Monk or Bacon. I think it'd help with the spacing needed for Rozier and Graham.

I have trouble understanding what Detroit is really trying to do if they really are open to trading him.

That said, his shooting would be a good add. My worry is his poor D. Not sure how I would feel about adding another mostly one way guy.

DY_nasty · Post #1532 » by **DY_nasty** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 8:52 pm

Kennard isn't even a bad defender really. He just has Drummond behind him.

Kennard is what Monk wishes he could be on his best days.

I wish we had gotten Ball or Ingram while they were cheap, maybe we can learn our lesson and get Kuzma while he is undervalued

Lakers are already asking a hefty price for him.

They had to include 3 FRPs in addition to them for AD, so yeah I'd say they weren't very highly valued

AD was and is considered a top 5 player entering his prime.
