So we may have to wait and try to accumulate assets for a year.
I don't want to diminish any posters because I certainly couldn't put together the work that has been done looking for avenues to get a Dame level talent. But I tend to agree with your post. Although, it can debated you can't really pick the time when a star hits the trade market. Time will tell, if Dame actually hits the market this summer.
But I think the best chance for our own "Jrue Holiday" trade may be 2 years from now. Improve your top end talent with a FA signing or two, Develop your young kids, and keep your solid players on good or expiring contracts. Once we are past our first round picks commitment, we may have a much better war chest down the road. I do agree that '23 pick is tricky, but I don't know paying 1.50 on the dollar to resolve it now may not be the best move.
