Look... Giannis seems like he'll ask out eventually. OKC eventually has to trade someone. CLE probably breaks it up if they don't get over the hump eventually. So on and so forth. I don't buy this total doomsday scenario some people here push that they won't ever have a good team around Tatum if they trade Brown/White. You get hauls of young players/picks and eventually Stevens will trade them for star(s) if they don't become them on their own. I'm like 95% sure of it. But I don't want to stomach that 5%. Team's already really, really good core. They have the flexibility to keep all of Tatum/Brown/White/Hauser/Pritchard for their deals and all of their 1st rounders while ducking the tax this year and next. It's already a great starting point, no need to tear it down further IMO.

I feel like they're all far more likely chancing that we bite on a #2-9++ package rather than some sort of godfather offer where we are getting a top 10 pick plus 3 other picks and some usable rotation pieces.
Bane just went for some negative salary in KCP (not too bad) and 4 firsts but none likely top 10. I've got Brown>Bane but by how much on that supermax?
Trust Brad to get a haul if he pulls the trigger but my expectations are sky high because I don't think it's a good idea, so we better be getting bowled over by the offer (especially if it's not the Spurs and we don't even have our pick of the litter).

Amen, that's not the Celtic way either. we believe in culture as much as anything. You don't build culture by tearing teams down and rebuilding. You do that when you are desperate or you post on realgm

Not enough for both JB and DW, imo. Also, I don't think that can work financially.

What else is in the trade? #9 is not enough for D.White imo
