    With Hayward's contract, at the least, we should keep 25

    Depends on what you have to give up.

    After the Raptors and Kawhi I believe Neil would.

    We don't have a young star, we dont have a top draft pick.
    Why are you guys even thinking about this?

    I'd be very happy if we had the chance to steal Randle thru all of this, though.

    Probably because the Lakers don't have a young star and the pick at 4 appears to be nothing special. So it seems possible.

    Sign me up for Randle though.

    4 is a lot worse than 3 in this draft. Culver, Hunter, and Garland would be 7th picks or lower in a normal draft.

    What? Were offering New Orleans the best player they can get right now outside of possibly Beal. CJ is a great fit with Jrue. Were offering Collins whos a great fit next to Zion. Plus picks? We have a solid package to offer.

    Still, #4 pick and some young talent is what the Pelicans want and we dont have that.

    I actually think the Knicks have a good shot at this. They're at the a different conference, they want to screw Clutch, Reuniting Zion and Barrett might be a charming for them on some level, Knox can make a huge jump, they have future picks.

    Ainge is also at a pressure point because his team is at a dead end right now. Besides Tatum and Brown he doesn't really have a future contender like he'd hoped. He has the balls to do something crazy right now.

    They are not making a title run right now. They are rebuilding.
    If AD is gone, Jrue and his massive contract are likely to be gone too.

    Doesnt make sense to take a 28 year old as a future running mate for a 19 year old player.

    What? The Pelicans came out and said they aren't interested in a rebuild situation and want at least one proven player.

    To be fair isnt that just what “the media” said? Could be all just a front, we wont really know until they finally trade him.

    Pretty sure they meant young-proven player.

    Griffin is not stupid, i find it VERY hard to believe he's interested in a trade in which the centerpiece asset is a decade older than Zion.

    People equate this situation with the Kawai trade and that's a mistake IMO.

    That's what most people would do, yes, but it's being reported Griffin wants something different.

    Really quick tho,

    Y'all are HATING on Rich Paul.

    Plain and simple. Y'all didn't say shit about Arn Tellem.

    He was even MORE cutthroat than Paul ever was.

    Besides the Kobe thing what’s so cutthroat about Tellem? Isn’t he more known for getting his players top dollar more than meddling?

    He's done the same things as Paul just not out in the open.

    Every person in here would want Rich Paul as an agent.

    What? No college and a million dollars? Sign me up.

    Agents have always had this power.

    100%

    Anyone know Paul George agent name when his destinations were leaked? Why wasnt his agent run through the mud? Didnt hear a ton about his agent. Didnt hear a lot about dwight Howard's agent when he wanted out a while back. Didnt hear a lot about DeMarcus cousins' agent. Jimmy butler's agent. We hear about rich Paul though. We hear about Kawhi's uncle...

    Tbf, Cousins, Howard, and Butler all we’re public trade requests iirc. I don’t think AD has come out and said it, he wants to be traded for sure but he isn’t the one saying it.

    Just trade the dude. It is called player power.
    If you stay with your losing team ... you will be called a loser the rest of your life. AKA Charles Barkley ...oh wait didn't he join Hakeem and Scottie in search of a Ring?
