    Five firsts if you include Kessler. Also Vanderbilt who's one of the most underrated defenders in the league. Beverley is an expiring but fits well next to Mitchell and Conley and makes every team hes on better. Beasley is a good spacer. Lol Connelly got worked by Ainge here imo

    Exhibit A of someone willing to say another team did a bad trade, but a history of never letting anyone say we did a bad trade without mocking them.

    KAT and Gobert seems like such a weird fit.

    Wow. If we could get this package for Dame, we should trade him. I can't believe I'm saying this.

    We could probably get a better package for Dame.

    Who owns their warchest and needs a point guard?

    New York? They just got Brunson so probably not.

    New Orleans? Definitely a candidate?

    Miami? They can if they remove some protections on their 2025 pick. But not a fan of this. Miami is too well run for those picks to ever be lottery picks.

    I think the Wolves are gonna be good, not a huge Rudy guy but I actually think he fits well with KAT.

    If Utah is rebuilding I would love to find a way to get Vanderbilt.

    Vanderbilt is still young and a pretty good player. and Kessler is a first rounder this year. That's a lot.

    Maybe because he refuses to take less.

    At this point, I don't think we can afford to trade Dame until we know the draft order next year and have a firm "no" from whoever has 1.01. Wembanaya absolutely needs to be the goal in a Dame trade, if at all possible.

    Be more realistic.

    We should be able to stomach a Dame trade because we already have this replacement.

    I don't see a team willing to trade Wembanaya for Dame straight up this next offseason. Whoever gets him will likely be rebuilding themselves and people think he is a generational talent. If you really wanted to go after him you would want to deal Dame now for an unprotected 1st in 2023 (along with many other things, of course) and tank this season yourself.

    Can KAT run around and chase small ball 4s? We know Rudy can't.
