Would you sell your soul to the devil?

If you were Kahn...and you can sign and/or trade in any imaginable combination for Batum-SF and Harden-SG...would you pull the trigger? Either way, explain your scenario....

Simple. Would you go 'all in' for either player or both.

Not if either trade includes Love or Rubio, and not if a Batum trade includes Pekovic (and maybe Williams). Otherwise, yes.

Edit:

As far as scenarios...

1) Williams, Pekovic, and 18 for Haden and Perkins

2) Max contract for Batum

Well I wouldn't give up Love or Rubio, but anyone else would be fair game.

Max contract for Batum? You guys are going a little crazy here. Dude averaged under 14 and 5 with a PER of around 14. And that is his best season to date. He is the definition of average. I like the guy but he's worth about half a max contract.

I personally wouldn't do it, but if we're going to "sell our souls to the devil" to get both players, then that would probably be the best way to ensure it happens.

I'd rather throw MAX money at Duncan and hope he can convince vet role players to sign for cheap like Nash, Allen, Hinrich, Jameson, etc.

I agree that a max contract is crazy, but his PER was over 17, which is pretty good for a 23 yr old swing man.

The soul perhaps, but not Rubio.

You can't sell your soul to Pek, he'll just take it.
