    We need stretchy wings. Not PFs that are really centers in 2020.

    Throw as much money as you can at Jerami Grant.

    Remember when Melo was traded from Denver to the Knicks? The guy who engineered that deal is now GM of the Knicks. Not only are he and Melo tight, but he has the cap space to offer Melo a better deal than we can. Even if the Blazers really want to keep Melo, the deck is stacked against us.

    Why would Melo want to go back to NY to lose again? I don't think he gets more than the MLE. We have that.

    No chance in hell the Spurs want Whiteside. Can you imagine pop coaching him? We would have to add like 2 first round picks for them to consider that.

    I know it's completely pointless, but Sean Elliot and their announcers were absolutely raving about Whiteside back when we played them. I think he regularly kills them even during his MIA days.

    Spurs will want two things for LA.....youth and cheap contract.....aka Zach Collins or some combination including Wenyen Gabriel....they'll ask for Gary Trent....that better not happen....I'd consider what they'd want for LA because we really need scoring at the 4 spot. Aldridge has started rebounding and shot blocking more with the Spurs...he has played center for them at times...as Dame said....LA is a bucket...I'd want to see him play with Melo giving us 3 bona fide allstars on the roster and giving Dame a window to get a championship in his prime with proven vets....no more development players other than draft picks for a couple years would be a good change in my view.

    Only way to make it work is by trading CJ to them

    That’s not happening. I’d say the best shot would be doing two deals. A S& T of Whiteside for Aldridge and a second deal with one or more of our young guys for Spurs filler pieces.

    If I'm trading CJ I want a young talent like Morant or Levert ..or a two way guy like Holiday...CJ would be a trade you could get several players for in return...he's a franchise player for bottom feeding teams and I see him going to the east if a trade is made, not the west
