    Yes the lineup you want to succeed is

    Dame
    Ant
    Sharpe
    Grant
    Nurk

    With Hart, Nas, Watford, Winslow, GBIII, Walker off the bench. That would be ideal. I'm also fine with Sharpe being our SF off the bench and Nas starting, but if we want a shot at a ring we need Sharpe to become the SF we need.

    Sadly, the two dudes serving first class were not anything I was interested in flirting with. United is no Lufthansa!

    Perhaps management always strongly suspected that building an instant contender with their available assets and roster was the total pipedream so many of us did, but they also knew that their aging superstar wanted to know that they were exploring every option? So they proceed to confirm the obvious, running the various meh scenarios they uncovered by him so that he can be on board with when they pivot to their actual plan A... building for the future.

    Don't know if you have seen it, but SI ran a report speculating he actually sat out the past season due to some kind of injury. I see no evidence that is true. He seems 100% healthy and to have the physical talent to be an NBA player.

    The only evidence I could maybe point to is that he repeatedly said he spent the last year getting his body right.

    If they were going to trade Sharpe I think they would have at least delayed the presser. He was on his way to Portland 24hrs after the draft.

    I suspect Ant in a sign and trade with other assets - pick package similar to what the Lakers sent out for AD.

    Can you even include multiple players in a sign and trade? I didn't think so.

    Don’t think AD is the guy. And don’t think Ant will be gone this summer.
