It really sucks to watch your team and have any part of you hope they lose. The biggest reason to go into a multi year tank is to increase your chances of landing a great player, and I think they already have that guy. I can live with tanking this year (its not like they have any choice) but I hope that we come out next offseason with a young functioning roster that will be fun to watch develop.
That´s why I´m comfy with the Bulls trade.
Get me the Bulls and Blazers picks, turn White and Vucevic into Wolves/Celtics 1st round picks and say you come away with Brown Jr., Stirtz, Steinbach and Avladas. I guess Blazers won´t convert this year, otherwise you can add a 5th rookie. We doing the generational draft version of the Nets.
Magic need 3pt shooting, so send Klay + Hardy there for Isaac + Howard +2nd round picks. That´s a core of
Brown/Russell /Stirtz
Irving/Christie/Howard
Flagg/Essengue/Avdalas
Washington/Marshall/Steinbach
Lively/Gafford/Cisse
Okay maybe getting the Hornets pick back somehow would not be so bad. We probably be in the lottery next year, too. After that though Mavs will be young, very exciting and still bit sh*t. Hey good job Nico.
Do we actually have capspace in this scenario? Feels like only Kyrie and Washington make more than the MLE.
