    Ric Bucher’s ties to reality are tenuous at best. You made a thread about his opinions.

    Exceptions aren't rules. There are a lot more "underachieving guys out of UK" who don't pay off than there are those that did.

    If this is all make believe why not just have cle sign him to a 1 year deal at 12.9 mil and then trade him to us for our TPE. Someone said cle will take what we give them, this works for me:)

    Pfft, we're going to sign him for the MLE and a new billion dollar Nike contract.

    Knox is not the Harrison twins or the other scrubs you mentioned though. He’s legit. He’s tearing up the SEC Tourney right now.

    So it’s better to draft guys that suck in tourney play?:)

    I’m just saying KK is good, he’s on a team of freshman and it shows sometimes(a lot) but he’s a top 10 pick and looks like a solid pro to me. I never thought the Harrison twins or Lamb would be solid pros.

    It was just that you talked about "underachieving Kentucky guys", a label I don't think actually applies to Knox. He's the best player on his team (maybe Gilgeous-Alexander). Usually the best UK player in any given year is a safe bet to be a decent pro. Diallo, for example, would be a Kentucky guy in the Goodwin/Harrison mold that I would want to avoid.

    He would fit just fine with Simmons, they could make it work.

    Of course we are better and we would probably be the best team in the league if we could add James without giving up CJ or Dame. However this is not possible. We can't create space to sign him as a free agent, we do not have any combination of assets to send back in sign-and-trade for Cleveland to even give our offer a second thought.

    It is possible. Definitely possible.

    What about this isn't possible?
    CHI Gets: Leonard, Swanigan, 2019 LAL/MIN 2nd
    NYK Gets: Harkless, Aminu, Layman
    CLE Gets: 2018 POR 1st, 2020 POR 1st
    POR Gets: LeBron, Asik (TPE)

    Chicago swaps out Asiks bad contract for Leonards, a young prospect, and a 2nd. They definitely do that.
    New York would take Harkless and Aminu for free (especially since Porzingas will miss time next year)
    Cleveland gets two firsts for a departing LeBron
    We send out enough salary to get LeBron, and Asik is acquired using our player exception.
