    Lol@ people giving Olshey the benefit of the doubt when it comes to taking big risks. I mean it’s your opinion so run free, but you’re only setting yourself up for disappointment. I’d rather be pleasantly surprised. It’s going to be fun reading all the emotional posts (WHAT WE COULDVE BEAT THAT!!) after AD inevitably goes somewhere else though.

    I'm sure we'll hear all about how close he was to taking a big risk. :)

    If the Flakers are trying to drive up Kuzma's trade value with this charade, I'm skeptical it's going to work.

    What would you guys want if you were trading Anthony Davis?
    Me, since it's Anthony Davis we're talking about, I would want quality over quantity. I don't know what players would be available, but a young guard like Donovan Mitchell would be what I'd want.
    If Ben Simmons would be a good fit, I'd take him. That could be a way the Blazers get involved, 76ers get CJ Mcollum, we get Anthony Davis and Pelicans get Simmons. (No I don't know if that trade works under the rules).

    Would you trade Nurk plus CJ and filler for AD rental?

    This has already been discussed, but no, I wouldn’t, because if AD walked, we’d be left with nothing. But I would offer up CJ. Olshey wouldn’t (I don’t think, because technically what do I know, but you know I’m right)

    I like that deal. Not sure if NOLA would though.

    With Durant for sure out next season, this is our window to win a championship. So even if AD ends up being a rental, it’s a risk Olshey has to take. But he won’t and I’m getting maaaad just thinking about it.
