    No doubt Lillard will be a Billionaire after China is done with him.

    If good shooters are your standard for who should be on this roster, you're going to be unhappy next season.

    I'll take a current 1st Team All-NBA player over Durant.

    I'm good with giving up two quality starters in grant and holiday, which is what it would take to match Giannis's salary. It's giving up multiple young players for a guy who's gonna make 60 mil a year when his teams haven't done anything the last few years.

    Not to mention Giannis’ game is all about athleticism and he’s gonna be 31 this year. I’d obviously take him for the right price (Scoot/Grant/Picks) but including our best player and/or a potential defensive player of the year that are both 25 or younger??? I’ll pass.

    I agree.

    The post I responded to did not talk about having to give up multiple young players for a former MVP at age 30, they pushed back at giving up just 1 of our young players. Talk about over-valuing your own guys!

    Man Moses has been trying to make his NBA dreams happen for six years now. I’m glad he’s still getting opportunities and hope he can stick with some team.

    That's what I think. And they'll make a trade for someone else next offseason for the run.
