I can’t really tell what Kolek and Dadiet‘s value might be around the league, but I’ve got a funny feeling that this makes enough sense financially and strategically for both sides and when I’ve felt that before, we traded for OG, then Towns, then Bridges. Again, not to brag at all, I was very wrong on Brunson and didn’t see the Hart trade coming at all. I’m also not saying this will happen because after all, Robinson is very, very good - might as well just start him instead.
I like the idea, just saying I don't try to get too deep into trades that aren't actually being discussed or AT LEAST rumors. Back in the day I would have plenty of ideas to push. I think after the 2024 TDL passed and we did nothing to address the actual depth pieces we needed I was completely done with trade scenarios. I was a broken record with two or three trades myself. Kessler/Sexton was one. Olynyk/Brogdon I think was another. It didn't matter. We got Bogs/Burks and it was stupid. I remember trying to replace Evans salary forward with trades too. It was all for nothing.
That is the conclusion you came to and that's cool.
I take pride in looking at all the behind the scenes connections and variables which could drive a trade. Its kind of something I enjoy a lot (as you can probably tell lol)
I am very careful to try and handicap the probability of the trade as best I can and don't post trades on guys unless I have researched there is a chance they could be available combined with how the organization thinks combined with the fit of that player within the current roster.
I don't get them all right. No one does. But my hit rate for such a difficult to predict thing is pretty good....
Do you feel attacked or something? I have said nothing but good things about the work you put in, The ball busting that it's dozens of pages is all I have ever said about it. We get it. You want Giannis/JJJ(2 guys not on the market yet) or Smith/Kessler for Mikal. We get it. EVERYONE gets it.



I personally won't get that deep with it anymore. That's all. Sorry that has you feeling some sort of way. Your 4 team 11 player random pick trades are a masterpiece. Have at it bro. We have all seen them once or twice... per page....for the last 80 pages.
