Holy ****..game of the year. Chet is going to win rookie of the year isn't he lmao.

If he keeps close to Wemby and keeps contributing to a winning team that would be a massive shocker.

Honestly, I think they have such great chemistry. They don't even need to make a big move. Chet being this good means I think this team will just organically grow.

Shai
Chet
Williams
Giddey

Are all all star caliber players. Shai is obviously close to MVP. Cason Wallace won't even get much playing time lol.


Giddey is the piece they move. I'm super high on Williams and I bet they are too.
The top 3 are their cornerstones and may be enough if they give them 2-3 more years together.
But if they ever wanted to fast-track, or felt they needed to (because Shai got antsy or something), imagine Giddey with a bunch of picks for example, would be super enticing to a lot of teams.

I could watch these two play an entire season against each other.
It feels like every game they play is a shootout at the OK coral, and such high drama, big money shots, etc

SGA, Williams, Chet

Who would they even bring in and do you want to take the ball away from those 3? Giannis or Embiid? Unless it's one of those 2, I don't see it.

Giddey might be the odd man out in that lineup.
