I myself don’t want a guy that actually takes 3-4 FRPs to acquire. I’m not convinced Luka would fit well next to that type of player. I want smaller improvements that use smaller assets. I think we can build a team that has higher quality “basketball players” as Kidd talked about and be a fully Luka led team. Time will tell if JB wants in on that, because his progress is really starting to answer a lot of the questions we had about him.
There’s a chance we just need 1 more guy to make this team do what CP did for the Suns (on a bit of a smaller scale). I could be talked into a guy like Turner being that missing piece too. What I’m saying is, what’s the cost to get a guy like Turner with the assets we have? If it takes THJ, the 22 and 25 and even Green, sign me up! If it takes Powell and Maxi (and 22 or whatever), I’m saying sign me up and go to work on replacing the bench players. I don’t know what the structure of the trade would be, I’m saying, if it nets you the best player that looks like a fit, sign me up!
I know they will be opportunistic and listening. How proactive and creative with they be with the roster though. There are lots of names attached to rumors right now out there, how many more are going to surface before FA starts?
Why don't we just draft a guy that helps us right away and becomes an all rookie first teamer? There are guys like this drafted in the 20s almost every year.
