    On the other hand, how good would those picks be? I doubt Dame gets traded to a lottery team. So the players coming back seem more valuable IMO.

    Philly has already traded their 2025 and 2027 picks. So we could get 1 pick from them, in 2029.

    I did think about that, I just wonder how many times it's happened where a franchise player who still clearly has it for a few more years and when traded hasn't brought back picks along with players.

    I saw this....

    Is this a championship team?

    Dame
    Sharpe
    Bridges
    Grant
    Draymond

    I'm not sure. And who is the bench?

    No. Still very weak on the boards and a bit too small.

    How would that work?

    Ant/pick for Bridges?

    Nurk/TPE/NYK pick for Draymond?

    That team would get killed on the glass. Bridges/Grant/Green all rebound worse than their counterparts at their positions

    I would be OK if we also got a bruiser C like Looney to supplement.

    Naz Reid is a UFA. I kinda like Vucevic as well but dont think hed be available for the MLE. Poeltl is likely destined to extend in Toronto. Same with Lopez and Milwaukee.

    my hunch is that, like Blazerkor has been talking about for months, the Knicks pick would go to the Bulls in order to free up 7 future Blazer 1st round picks

    I think ideally, the trade would be something like Ant + 5th pick + two future 1st's for Bridges. As long as we're fantasizing, it would be even better to add Nurkic to the deal and get back Claxton

    I don't have much interest in Draymond

    I'm with you, but Dame loves the guy. And this is from the linked article.
