    Or they fire the GM. How much more leeway does he have simply because he won a title?

    I don't want Turner. Our rebounding would be awful and he's not great defensively despite his block #s.

    I think Gafford fits into one of our exceptions. So Kuzma resigned at 22 mil and traded for Ant. They give us Gafford for our exception.

    Seems like a pretty good idea.

    Right. Dude can't/won't make a deal because he is overvaluing his players.

    That’s fair, I just want Nurk gone. Ideally replaced by a Jarret Allen type of player.

    Or the only legitimate offensive option on your team. Obviously he'd have a different role. He seems like a high IQ guy who plays good defense from what I hear. Can he guard 3s though?

    That I don't know.

    Pacers have Haliburton, Mathurin, Hield, Duarte, Nembhard, and McConnell at guard. Don't why they'd want Ant and his salary

    Scoot + Sharpe + 3FRP for OG?

    Ujiri: Hmmm, that's enticing, let me think about it

    Ant for DeRozan and some second round picks to free up our future firsts....go get an Ed Davis or Enes Kanter or DHoward or Whitside or Robin Lopez or any serviceable backup Center. Vet centers are cheap and available these days.

    Don't love it but maybe if we can get Caruso back I can be convinced. Or find another team to take DDR.

    Ant to WAS
    Kuz S&T to CLE
    Allen to POR.

    Maybe?

    Ed and Demar were in Dame's wedding party...their relationship is a big reason why when Dame said we need two older vets to mentor young guys...well that's what this brings. Makes us better and keeps Dame happy.

    Don't really know how well Ant and Poole would go together in Washington though, so it probably wouldn't happen.

    Honestly, Ant to ORL makes even more sense now that they drafted Anthony Black.

    Is that Ant? All this time I thought it was Nurk.
