    Ooh, it's the 2024 LAC second round pick that really tips it in our favor

    Any interest? Wolves must have someone locked up to decline 7 million for a rotation wing.

    As for hell no, this is the kind of bad trade that would be available, and honestly the kind we should at least sniff at if we want to rebuild. I don't think the trade machine can include picks, so I didn't bother trying. I think you'd want protected picks sooner and late unprotected picks if possible (like your pick swap idea). They'd come right as Golden State drops out of relevance, and right as our crew is ready to compete.

    I'm not a GM, and would be a bad GM if given the job, but I think accepting a "bad deal" now would help us more in the long run than balking and only getting worse offers later. I'd take fewer picks than you suggested if it meant keeping more of our own. Hell, I'd do this deal straight up with one unprotected pick five years from now. But again, I'm bad at this.

    Wait I’m totally down to take him into the GpTPE. No way we can get a better player for it.

    I think we could in a sign and trade from a team looking to cut payroll. Don't know if you have watched Prince lately but he is... ugh, not great.

    Sign and trade for who? It's only 8M and you can't combine it with other salaries.

    Dame knows that by all this conjecture in the media it only helps put pressure on the Blazers to sign Grant. I also feel Dame & Billups are on same page with respect to seasoned veterans.

    Was anyone able to confirm this? I thought someone just posted that Dwight was retweeting some random dude.

    I dont see the point when we have Thybulle and Nas and presumably Knox also here. He's not really an upgrade over either of those three.

    So we aren't offering/extending Cam. I think he has upside but we need some vets.

    He had his chance, and didn't take advantage of it.
