Trade & FA 2024-25:

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Since we're entertaining this (tepidly), I would like to restate my total lack of reluctance to the thought of building a trade around a Herb Jones for Daniel Gafford swap. I think that makes this team sooooooooooo much better (as long as Lively doesn't get hurt).

Herb is The Dream! Do you give them Gafford, Omax, 2025 1st AND 2nd? Where do we draw the line? I draw it at Naji, personally(thinking of 3 team scenarios wherein NO gets another 1st from another team) Guess it depends on how N.O. And Dallas value Omax.

I think picks in this draft are valued highly and would not toss them around lightly.Though I can see hedgng our bets with Maxi and going for another “stretch4/5” type like DFS, Olynyk, Harrison Barnes. Just don’t think any of those guys are quite worth giving up our first and our second plus contracts is likely not enough.
