Thanks for getting back on track guys. This place would run a lot smoother if everyone would just agree with everything I say

Why would a talent like Paul join this dumpster fire?

Raptors have a lot of stuff they can package up. Would be very on brand for Masai.

Definitely feels we’re out on KD.

I'm super ready to be done with KD. Can we move on to the next option please.

Siakam, Anunoby, Trent Jr and 3 1st for Durant, Harris, and Curry? Damn trade works to the dollar on the checker.

C Boucher C Achuiwa C Ibaka?
PF Durant PF Young
SF Barnes SF Porter
SG Curry SG Harris
PG Van Vleet PG Flynn

C Turner(From Kyrie deal?)
PF Siakim
SF Anunoby

PG Simmons

He'll, just keep Kyrie with that type of defensive stock around him. They could get Turner for picks.

I personally don't think that's better than the Bucks or Celtics. Might be right on the level or slightly below.
- Barnes is very young and isn't fully reliable for a championship type run yet (see Tatum)
- Seth is undersized and didn't move the needle playing with Kyrie and KD
- Center position is shaky

Only sure thing would be Durant and FVV. Does that core win you a ship?

Brooklyn should pull the trigger on that Raptors deal. All these teams are going to be crazy lengthy in the East. We’ll go smaller lol

In my mind, the ship for KD and Mitchell sailed. We just can't match these trade offers.

I don’t think so but if Barnes continues to develop which i think he certainly will that’s a crazy lengthy 1-2 punch duo with Durant and Barnes.

Haha, sadly you're right. I'm a big fan of lengthy, athletic prospects. As are most teams. It's a give and take though. Length and athleticism doesn't out rank talent. With Spo, it's less about length and athleticism...less about talent and more about switchability on defense, lol.

miamiballer · Post #1636 » by **miamiballer** » Mon Jul 4, 2022 1:18 am

I’ve come to terms that if we don’t get kd or Mitchell it’s not for lack of trying…sometimes if teams don’t want to trade or hold out for more value or get beat in deals not much you can do

I do hope and expect however thay we will address the starting pf position, it’s just anxiety provoking to sit there with the same team as last year minus pj and Caleb and adding jovic only so far while every east contending team gets better

CanesHeatFins · Post #1637 » by **CanesHeatFins** » Mon Jul 4, 2022 1:18 am

We cannot compete with 29 other teams. Mitchell and Durant need to fire their agents for allowing them to sign those long deals without a quick opt out. It is beyond me why you'd willingly give away your future leverage to an organization that's not even requiring you you to give it up.

Seriously John Collins is from South Florida, just 24 and is a consistent 17 and 8, on 56% and 37%3pfg. ATL prob gonna give him up for cheap. Give em Jovic,Duncan, and an unprotected FRP and be done with this nonsense. Ride it out with Herro & Dipo as our backcourt of the present/future.

Does Durant accept being on this squad? Banking on Vanvleet to generate offense to back him up and who to provide some muscle for him?

Is Durant the screener, board man and big defender?

Idk. Bold legacy step to take on a team that will be clearly just his. Is that his response to all this?

miamiballer · Post #1639 » by **miamiballer** » Mon Jul 4, 2022 1:20 am

And my prediction now is they kd ends up on the suns somehow or maybe Toronto with Kyrie in lakers and Mitchell stays in Utah and we pivot and sign tj warren for the tpmle and bring back Martin…very unexciting to say the least…again don’t see the team as presently constructed as a true championship threat

Heat_Down_Under · Post #1640 » by **Heat_Down_Under** » Mon Jul 4, 2022 1:23 am

So we running it back with same team minus PJ?
