I don’t think they need too. The Lebron affect will be huge. Lebron with our young core and some of our vets I think will dramatically help us. We need to sign Brooke as McGee cannot be our starting center. But I think we should pass on trades unless it’s dame or John wall. Rondo, hart, Ingram, Lebron, brolo with a bench of Lonzo, Stevenson, Kuzma, our Michigan pick, and McGee off the bench is the best team / deepest team we have had since 2012. I predict if we sign brolo we are third in the West

More likely than not. But then who knows. :-)

I hope we do but i somehow don't think so. I think we're going to be completely fine being the 5th seed or so this season (which is fine, cause we just need to make the playoffs this year).

I don't see us making any major moves unless someone wants to help us get rid of Deng at a low cost (curse you Mitch and Jim)....

I think the FO wants a veteran team that ready now. Having key players who've never played a meaningful game is a hindrance. Even guys like Magic and Worthy whiffed a few time early in their careers (84' anyone....). So, it may not be what I want, but I can see the FO looking to get veteran stars in here to make the most out of LeBron's few years here.

we're not in the east, we have to get past Houston and Golden State, no chance we get past either, we're with the rest in the west.

Is trading for Hassan Whiteside considered big?

Harden shrinks with pressure and CP3 goes down every playoffs. Everyone has a chance vs Houston tbh

the same houston team that would have won the title last year had Paul not gone down in game 6.

Yeah lets face it, we're not beating either one of them, they are by far the two best teams in the nba right now. If we were in the east we'd probably come out of that.

straight swap for Deng maybe. I think that at least would be salvagable.

Yeah the same Houston team that is done in 5 if Iggy does not get hurt. The same one that bricked 26s threes in a row.

PAul gets hurt every year in the playoffs, it is not new and he is not getting younger or slimmer tbh.

And now there is no Ariza. Capella also has not signed back up

Houston should totally sign your boy Melo. I’m sure his awesomeness is just what they’re missing.

Probably not.

If there is a trade it will probably be really really good.

If not?

We good.
