    Yeah, we don't want anyone too good as it could hurt the tank, unless of course it's too good to turn down (unlikely)

    ...which is what he put in his post at the end.

    Very true.

    The idea of trading for Christian Wood and then pairing him with Boucher in our frontcourt would be fascinating to me.

    Boucher and Achiuwa are both getting about 20mpg and with the addition of Young and Eubanks we are now very crowded up front and very much in need of a guard.

    That is why if 'somehow' you could get Simmons, you just let him train/rehab the rest of the year, get your pick, then bring back Dame/Simmons/Ant/Nas/Hart/Winslow/etc to other pieces you can acquire and still get your good Lottery pick.

    Interchangeable longbois is the exact design of the team, though.
    Wouldn't hurt.

    We're running Siakam as a point-forward and he's killing it, but a backup PG should be on our shopping list today.

    Fixed for you.

    They’re like 8 games over .500 after starting the season like shit.

    Hopefully, Cronin can duplicate a rebuild like that.

    I think we should move Bledsoe if it makes our team better next year.

    How the Norm Roco trade looks is a sunk cost, so nothing should be done going forward to make it look better.
