KD doesn't want the pressure. The Knicks aren't letting Mikal walk either. You don't trade 5 FRPs for a rental or future cap space. This scenario will never happen.
For a guy like JJJ or Giannis I think that would not apply. They absolutely would let Mikal be the bridge for a player like that.
Why are these teams going to trade valuable players/franchise level players, for basically scraps? How does something like that work without a player forcing his way here? Several other teams can blow our offers away.
Until a player makes that commitment, any trade ideas should be realistic for everyone.
If Milwaukee trades Giannis they are gonna want a rebuild package. We can't help that.
If Memphis puts JJJ on the block, they are gonna want more than Bridges and scraps. They aren't gonna make a lateral move when they can get more.
People need to start focusing on the bench this summer. Our starting five is one of the best in the league. The rotations/minutes were a huge obstacle. Second to the systems we ran and some flat out terrible decision making.
Players like Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neal etc Teams looking to take little back to get cap relief. Much more realistic than the trades pushed around in here. KAT for Giannis? Why would Milwaukee want to do that? We don't have picks to sweeten deals no matter how equal we can match salaries.
Never say never though right? See OG/Mikal/KAT. Just trying to keep things a little more realistic for my expectations.
You are right, but if the powers that be insist on making a moves, the JJJ is my most likeable "unrealistic" move. Give up the least (compared to the other scenarios) and gain elite defense, very good offense athleticism and youth. Maybe there is a world were the karma of losing Ihart due to the CBA balances out and gives us JJJ. Crazier things have happened.
