Trade & FA 2024-25:

It wasn't just Ayton.  People were posting about trading the pick for Capella, Allen, Claxton, ect.

I don't know many that were for keeping the pick like I was.

Ya, I didn't understand the Ayton talk when we exposed him in that playoff series with....  Powell.  Ayton should have killed us.  We locked down CP3 and Booker, daring Ayton to dominate.

I was big on Allen because he was trending for the awesome season he had.  He became a better producer than even Mobley.  Still not a bad approach (trade #10 pick+ for Allen), but I didn't think Lively would be the immediate stud that he is.
