I like Mobley no doubt but if I have to rate positions by importance, point guards and wings are 1 and 2. There is a reason to all this madness going about with wings getting 20 million a year and they can't even put up 20 points a game.

I'm too sentimental

It's not that I think Mobley is worth more than Doncic, especially when he's under contract for 4 more years at 90 per, it's that if I did it, I'd be the budget Pacers from a year ago, and with Mitchell needing an extension, free agency is off the table for quality pieces, and I'd give up 1sts

I don't trust my ability to moneyball it.

All you gotta do is help him find his dominoes, that's why. He' not interested in players, he just wants to find his damn dominoes.

completely fair. You drafted a stud that has the potential to be generational if the offense follows his defense. Can't blame you for holding your cards.

And you already have defensive concerns with Garland/Spida...Mobley has the potential to make up for all of that manning the interior.

I see it like this. Someone will get Luka; and this time next year others can talk about the time they had a chance to get Luka. Just need the dominoes to fall.

I ain’t mad at Buzz for holding his team to high standards. I actually respect him caring about winning this much. That Indy team was predicted to win a chip by now. They’ve been called a dynasty since day 1. Yet they’ve underperformed every year. Whether Luka stays or goes, Sometimes you gotta switch it up. I believe Buzz will be patient and do what’s best for the franchise. Gotta love BAF!

I think its obvious my team is lacking. Its also obvious they were lacking last season finishing as a 6th seed. This SIM is weird in that how players fit seems to be more important than how good they are. I think Detroit is the perfect example of that fit theory. I will get a decent package and I can wait until things change on the 15th.

Bingo!

And I’m not saying you should or shouldn’t trade Luka. That’s not my call to make.

As for Detroit, Context has done a phenomenal job drafting over the years. The man got some beefs along the way, but he’s a worker!

Anyone who misses out on the Doncic sweepstakes can take a shot at Buddy Hield for a similar package, he makes only 2 dollar more than Doncic

I am letting the SIM set my lineup with Luka and KP out. It will be interesting to see how the minutes are given out to Bagley and Bitadze.
