    Why would you present a trade and say i hope this is not the plan?

    Any attempt at bettering the team will have fans complaining because of the contract.

    They have ownership who wants to get better and is willing to pay to win.

    I think that would be really good actually. Especially if it would leave us enough draft capital to send Nurk out for a start forward, like OG.

    Dame, Shaedon, OG, Grant, Ayton, Scoot, Matisse, Murray and a backup big with the TPMLE. That would be the best rotation we have put around Dame especially if Shae pops big time. With all of the spacing that Dame creates, Ayton could feast in the paint and that would keep him more engaged on defense where he is a beast when he's not slacking off.

    He has warts and he's making 30+ million. The new CBA is no joke.

    Everyone has warts. Everyone has an objection to every player that gets mentioned here. It's nonsense. He's young and plays a position of need and helps us right away.

    I was responding to how Phoenix could get KAT by using us as a 3rd team. I say I hope that doesn’t happen because I don’t want to pay Ayton/Grant 60+ mil a year for multiple years. I think that’s a real bad idea.

    Is the goal to get better? If so, we're going to have to commit to paying a difference maker that much. Harden, P George, Ayton, KAT, OG, Siakam, etc. None of them are perfect but all would make us better. I feel like we have Jody Allen Stan accounts just poo-pooing every player because of cost on here.

    I suggested this in another thread, but how about a trade with Detroit sending Ant + Little +? that returns Bogdanovic and Stewart? We get a vet starting SF and a solid backup for Nurk, Detroit builds a great trio of guards with Ant/Ivey/Cunningham, and they plug their Thompson twin in at SF.

    Brooks is just not long enough for our needs. We need a SF and although he is a tough defender he still only has a 6'6" wing,

    I still think Toronto is our best trade partner. I think a fair trade is Ant for OG while giving them a young prospect in Kris Murray and taking back Young's 8 million contract. That is more than fair.

    They have zero interest in "fair".
