    Well yeah, that's obvious but I don't think Boston will go after George. I think they're saving picks for Anthony Davis.

    Ibaka or Millsap would be perfect, but they're both free agents. :sigh:

    Dame
    CJ
    George
    Millsap
    Nurk

    I just don't really get why we wouldnt be in it to get PG. You've got unbiased national media saying our offers would be the best, make most sense. You've got Dame and CJ on multiple occasions saying they want PG. Why not roll the dice? by the time these draft picks are ready to really produce, you'll be worrying about whether to give a 31 year old lillard a 300M dollar contract

    PG + Young for #15, #20, Crabbe, Harkless, and Biebs.

    I'd try Crabbe, Aminu, Ezeli, #15, and #26 for PG + Young.
    as well as
    #20, Leonard, and Davis to NYK for Kyle O'Quinn, #45.

    Then, you use the MLE to get a PF like Amir Johnson

    Lillard / McCollum / Napier
    McCollum / Turner
    George / Harkless
    Johnson / Young / Vonleh
    Nurkic / O'Quinn /

    At the trade deadline you could try to package Harkless, Vonleh, Johnson or Young, and a 2019 1st for a good PF. That might land Millsap or Ibaka depending upon their situations. Young, Harkless, and Vonleh could bring back $32M in salary.

    FWIW Batum would be mentioned before Rolo. Also, you have to count the time before Wes was injured since only then were we contenders.

    Keep Harkless and give them Aminu and call it good. PG replaces Crabbe, Young replaces Aminu, and we sign a backup C as an upgrade over Meyers.

    Olshey just needs to whore himself out for an all-star already. That would really get my needle going.

    Even if that all-star won't stay the night, you still need to do it Olshey.
