    I think it actually fits. Donic isn't a true PG in the NBA but is going to need the ball in his hands a lot to be at his best. So like Roy he needs a shooter paired with him and that shooter also needs to be able to guard quicker players.

    Luka is taller and plays a bit better in transition. But he doesn't get the kind of separation that BRoy did. It's why I said he was like Joe Johnson.

    Gortat currently makes ~12.8. We can absorb him into our TPE. He could be a 1 year stop gap if we chose not to bring back Nurk, bridge the gap to Collins. We could also immediately turn around and trade him for up to 16078261 in salary. Thus, getting an extra 3 million, potentially, out of our TPE. So list of available targets could increase to guys like... I dunno, James Johnson, Middleton, Bledsoe, Tobias Harris.

    I'm thinking Ed replacement, not Nurk. But the flipping value is a key point. And it would extend our TPE essentially for another year.

    Only if we get 15 too.

    Does 15+24 get us into the top 10? @BonesJones?

    I want to get Bridges and avoid Philly landing him. Do we sweeten the pot?

    I heard a scary comparison for Bridges recently on some pod that made a lot of sense.

    Wesley Johnson. Their stats are like identical. Not sure he's the guy we want.
