A future package of JB and all the picks/pick swaps can get you in the conversation for a legit star.

I think this is overstated. A Brunson contract would make it easier to trade for that final piece, but not necessary. It just means we will potentially have to send out more assets. In less than a year we will have access to all of our picks. We can send out 3 or 4 if we have to, and contracts like Dinwiddie and Timmy can be used in such a trade. We don't have to wait until 2025 with plan powder.
