they were never "cheap" lol


They had to include 3 FRPs in addition to them for AD, so yeah I'd say they weren't very highly valued

You make it sound like they weren't bidding against the entire league for a superstar

anything from the Mavs you want for MKG?


Not that we have any chance to get that, but as far as I remember they have the GSW 2nd rounder this year. Willy+MKG+CHA 2022 2nd for Lee+GSW 2020 2nd?

I’d love that.

Gsw 2nd rounder is the biggest target but it will be difficult to get.

They do have an Australian in their squad as well :D

I’d probably settle for matching expiring salary and a future second rounder from them.

To get that pick, I think we add value, either the Boston 2nd we own this year, or the Clippers 2021 2nd

I'd keep Willy. No reason to throw him in this season.

So, would folks here be willing to trade a lightly protected pick?
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

I honestly never thought Capela was that good.

Like Zeller with longer arms and a lead guard who could actually throw lobs. Dude is crazy soft, his defense is fake news, and if he didn't get to ride MVP coattails he'd never have gotten paid like he did.

Agreed. Before watching Capela, I thought he was pretty solid. Then, I watched him get outmatched by shorter dudes time and time again. I'm not sure he is much of an upgrade over Zeller.

It makes no sense for any team. Drummond is a bit too old for the rebuild here (and he would command a major contract most likely), knicks have a young C they can build on, Celtics dont have matching salaries without giving up a solid player.
And most expect Drummond to renounce to his option during the summer.

For Charlotte it makes absolute non sense to give up assets other than expirings at worst, knowing there is a high chance Drummond select the best offer during next free agency. And i pass on his 'competitiveness' (how could he be a good fit).

really hate that we are still being linked to Drummond

wish this team would target young guys being underutilized by their teams, such at Malik Beasley in Den and Derrick White in San Antone

My God. Did you see the trade proposal Chris Sheridan put in the article to bring Drummond to Charlotte?

Spoiler alert: It involves PJ...

But if we weren’t wanting better odds at a top pick and you swapped Bridges with PJ, I wouldn’t immediately hang up the phone.

But in the end I want us to be competitive, but not THAT competitive.

No interest in Drummond. He makes us just good enough to nail down that 9th spot in the East, and the 12th pick in the draft....ugh...

I'm hoping most these rumors are just us being inquisitive and not serious. Maybe just a way to gauge the value of our own assets. The smartest thing this team can do is try to extract max value from our expirings. If someone will offer anything for MKG, Marvin, or Biz, we have to take it. There is absolutely no point in adding Drummond at the present moment and I'd become a fan of another team if we actually gave up an asset for him.

Yes....add assets, don't use them for a guy like Drummond

If we go that crazy route, then it becomes obvious that MJ is the problem, as this will be a completely different front office and coaching staff from the last rebuild that the team tried to accelerate to fast. MJ is the only carry over from that time
