    There's still no second superstar in that roster. Which is why I really don't want to switch to 28 year old Grant from 22 year old Little.
    Also, there is no hustle player in the starting lineup. Not good either.

    Winslow is better than decent on defense. He's good.

    Thybulle - Great

    He should be the #1 target — and he’s on the block

    That sucks. This is exactly what I was worried about. The team turned around based on team offense and hustle and defense last season.
    It would be disappointing if they just try for a better version of the team that started last season. Talk about Shaedon Sharpe and his motor.
    There are NBA players that look like they're unplugged sometimes.

    This is firmly why I believe Hart should be the starting two. Shut the other teams down right out of the gate.

    Decent
    Good
    Very good
    Great
    Very good

    Makes even our best defensive lineup look pedestrian by comparison.

    Switch Thompson and Wiggins? OR am I going off of two years ago? I did not watch a single GSW game in the playoffs.

    Is this too good for us? Can work Hart in there too instead of Winslow if needed.

    this can be broken down into 3 separate trades too.

    I mean you could... if you wanted to be complicated about it for no reason. Obviously the Sixers trade is a separate deal. The other one isn't. You could make it into one two team deal and another three team deal but because you have if you traded EBEC, Winslow, Keon and the pick to the Hawks for Collins, the Hawks then couldn't trade Keon to the Spurs in aggregate with Gallo. So I guess you could split it up into three trades, two of which would make no sense with EBEC and Winslow going to the Hawks for Collins and then a three team deal where we send Keon, the FRP to the Spurs for nothing, the Hawks trade Gallo and their FRP to the Spurs and the Spurs send them Dejounte but that shit would make no sense.

    You have one two team deal and a three team deal. I do like them though and don't see why they couldn't happen.

    So a question about the Atlanta / San Antonio rumors...

    Does anyone actually think Spurs wants Gallo - or will he be about out?

    Would this 3 way work better?

    Atlanta
    Collins + 1st <-> Murray + Winslow

    Spurs
    Murray <-> Bledsoe + Watford + 1st (Atl) + 1st (Por)

    Portland
    Bledsoe + Watford + Winslow + 1st <-> Collins

    I don't see why Philly trades Thybulle for a second. Maybe if Harden opts out and resigns for a lower amount, so they can use the full MLE.

    For Collins I'd think we'd have to give up another first and or Little or something. They are eating EBEC, so they don't get the benefit of saving cap space as Detroit did.

    Good point, maybe Gallo can be dropped from the trade. SAS need something else in this deal though, that's not enough for Murray.

    I don't think Winslow or Watford have value to other teams. Little and Keon would.

    Kris Dunn is on Washington's summer league team. That doesn't rule out bringing him back, but why would he be playing for another team if that was the case?
