There’s zero reason outside of pride we shouldn’t be offloading everything but Nas and Ant. We would probably be instantly better next year just through the draft and actual athleticism/hustle.

It’s totally stale at this point, and feels like a ship with no one behind the wheel.
Somewhere trying not to offend Texas Chuck.

I think there's reason not to offload Lillard at this exact moment. I don't think he's going to get a high return currently. Not with how he's looked, and not with surgical intervention looming. The best course of action with Lillard is to shut him down.

Yep.

Shut down Dame. Trade CJ because of course. Trade RoCo and Nurkic to avoid having to pay them.

I am so down for a CJ for Love and a FRP that I need to stop spamming it but, CJ for Love and a pick please.

Then shut Love down as well.

Shutting down Dame also makes it more likely we get a top 5 pick this year.
