    My hope would be DeMarre Carroll but I think he will be too pricey for us.

    Even Kawhi's a pipedream. I'm secretly hoping for Jimmy Butler.

    A guy I really like but also don't see being available is Gordon Hayward. Guy's a baller, but he's not a true #1 like he's forced to be in UTA.

    I know its wishful thinking but how nice would it be for Crabbe to take the next step like CJ and Meyers?

    Define too pricey. We will have a shit load of money to spend if we lose LA.

    Maybe Justin Anderson? RHJ? plus a FA?

    He is a free agent. ATL wants to keep him. Don't think they would entertain a sign and trade unless he forced his way specifically to POR which I don't see.

    I think he gets money that Batum got with his last contract. So yes, it depends on if we lose some big guns on if we could afford him.

    Throw a patented Morey-style RFA-stealing poison pill contract at Khris Middleton.

    Atlanta doesn't have Carroll's bird rights.

    Remember to look at it from the player's perspective - will free agents (who already don't sign with us) want to sign with a team that's rebuilding? Are there any trades that make sense that take the element of having to be chosen out of the equation?

    Yep. But a lot of teams out there are hot to trot for Carroll as well from what I hear.

    My first thought was that this was another Batum-bashing thread. But then I realized you meant the hole left after he was traded, so that's okay.

    Millsap + Carroll to UTA
    Hayward + 12 + 15 to POR
    Aldridge to ATL (Mr. Sauces also mentioned ATL as one of the teams LA is targeting)

    Then put 23 + 15 + 12 + Vonleh to get Okafor or Neil's boy Kristaps.

    Can we work around the CBA mess to pull that off?

    What are you, David Kahn? Trying for the all-honky lineup?

    IDK man. A Dame/Wes/Hayward/Leonard/Okafor lineup is pretty sick
