I knew it would raise some eyebrows, and believe me, it wasnt easy for me and was something I had mulled over for days.
Were there better options? Maybe. But with only $80 in cap space heading into Free Agency and no real tradable assets, a guy like Brook Lopez in Free Agency was kind of my ceiling. And while that would have been a great move for me, I’d also need to replace George Hill, who I’m likely to lose in FA if I used my cap on BroLo, and I’d also need to address the fact that I needed both a starting 2guard and PF.
And is BroLo really the guy taking me over the top? Or a Marc Gasol? Really?
I didn’t trade Kemba to get a big man to bang with Embiid and Towns. I traded Kemba not only because it DID net me a big who can bang/board in the post or because it simply gave me much more flexibility/depth...I traded Kemba because IT AINT JUST EMBIID AND TOWNS I’m stuck matching up with, I also got LUKA DONCIC AND BEN SIMMONS I gotta contain. And quite frankly, Kemba was a liability in those two series and the team played better with George Hill at the 1. Bledsoe/DGreen/Kawhi is the best perimeter defending 1-3 in the entire completion. One of the best defensive teams last year JUST GOT BETTER defensively.
I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. This is a long off-season and it’s even longer til the trade deadline in-season.

Looks even better at the discounted price of 25 for a few years.

yeah but if you are a team that didn't have that good of a record or doesn't have have the FA ranking as some other teams you could avoid a potential bidding war...

If he even makes it to free agency, $25 would be an overpay.

Can't get into a bidding war if no one wants the player...

free agent rating are not a huge deal when it came to securing free agents last year.. only unknown is how much more will you have to pay if you cannot offer that 5th year

I guess that would be my opening bid then, lets have an open auction.
