Houston isnt trading a guy who has finished top 3 in the MVP race 5 of the last 6 years and not receiving Brown. Its more than okay to balk at the price. But its beyond foolish to act like its possible to pair him with Brown and Tatum— might as well speculate on how we can add Giannis to that trio as well at that point.
100% big facts.....I mean on the surface trading brown for an mvp player is a major win on paper. That’s the type of upgrade u need to hit on.
Also, let’s not lump Jaylen and Tatum together as pieces. In the NBA there’s a MASSIVE difference between a very good player, and a legit championship #1. Realistically speaking, Tatum is untouchable, Jaylen is not. I’m not saying you dump him for a bum, but if you can get a legitimate superstar, you do it. Depending on what the other pieces are, of course.

Lead singer of some band my girlfriend likes, Shaed. Most people have heard their main song, not really my type of music, but she is adorable.
Damn, look at me derailing. Back onto trades, I would be very surprised if Danny doesn’t make a relatively big move.

Me too, and I get sad cuz I fear it means Smart is traded for a top pick. Logically, I know we win on value. But **** logic, I dont want to trade Smart.

He is the heart and soul of this current team. But without him we are less volatile, less thrilling highs after his game winning hustle plays and terrible lows, after he decides he is the top offensive option on the team and shoots us out of a game.
Smart, by himself, no other assets attached, what pick does he get us?

The basis of a Smart + 14 for 2 trade is largely fair from a value perspective, per the consensus on the trade board

And we get a trade exception for smarts salary and the difference for the warriors in their exception is just lost?

Correct. Its an interesting little hack in that 2 will eventually have a salary of 9M or so, but due to the timing of the trade, we’d get the full amount of Smart’s salary as the exception.

What’s your harden package just for fun.....
I dont want to offer this; its why I said the bolded.
I could see Ainge doing Smart, Brown, RWIII, Romeo, Semi, 14, two more FRP for Harden and Tucker. Then dumping Kanter, Poirier to end dropping 3-5M from our cap overall.
Feels like too much, but just what I could see him doing.
If we were to make such a blockbuster trade, I'd rather go after Bradley Beal. Good friends with JT, not as ball dominant, wayyyy easier of a personality to deal with for Stevens.. And ofc younger.
