Assuming we aren't moving Paolo or Franz, yes and yes. The perfect person will never materialize.

It can go either way though, right? It's either not an immediate issue (no extensions for guys people are iffy on), but it becomes an immediate issue once there are extensions as to who is playing where in our future.
I can't say with certainty who they want to retain/trade out of Fultz/Cole/Suggs, but I think it'll be resolved over the course of the season. If they decide with extensions that they have no desire to trade any of them or make room, that's when I'll start bitching.
When it comes to actual players people want to keep or not, that is more subjective. Fultz as of right now is a decent starter/great backup. If he becomes even an average three point shooter, that moves his stock up a lot. Making AND taking more.
A lot of people don't think it's feasible he will improve there, which is fine.

Do you think Weltman and Hammond are capable of building championship roster? If so ,what gives you confidence in it? Do you find odd that Bucks and Magic, under Hammond, 2007- present day, never won playoff series as he was in charge of roster?

pepe1991 wrote:Do you think there is objective, logical way how can NBA team play : veteran who expects exstension, young player who is RFA, young player eligiable for early resign who was top 5 pick and rookie- all at same positions and somehow develop them without bias toward or against somebody? And why not solve clear problem BEFORE season rather than wait until at least one of them is thrown out or rotation, and by default, loses value?
pepe1991 wrote:Do you think 2025 decisions are too late , given that by that point Franz will be getting his +200M contract , and Banchero his +250M contract in 2026 ? Or, by that point ,you are pretty much stuck, for better or worst, with what you have?

I disagree completely. Mitchell was that person we were just a year too early. I am patient I want the right guy.
Moe can play PF, and if we give the 15th roster spot to Bol, he can play PF.Knightro wrote:On a serious note…
Given Jonathan Isaac’s complete unreliability, who is the backup PF?
Like I know Isaac will have the opportunity, but obviously they can’t be banking on him in that role and the depth at that spot isn’t anything to write home about.

The right guy would be great. But there is a finite amount of time here to find that guy, and once the young guy's contracts start coming up, that surplus goes away and getting a star gets much harder.

They're not easy to identify either. People were clowning his contract hard.
Hell, people were clowning WCJ's contract hard.. I remember being on the T&T forum arguing against like 5 people at once how it was a solid deal and he proved it within like 5 months.
