    This imaginary capspace better amount to something more than Anfernee Simons, Jusuf Nurkic and TJ Warren. Or some shit.

    The best free agent on the market this summer is LaVine.

    Portland can't get better by signing free agents. Not getting a FRP for Norm and Roco AND the possibility that the FRP from NO turns into the FRP from MIL is just a terrible haul for those guys. Depressed.

    Dame
    Ant
    Nas
    Mid-tier FA
    Nurk

    Unless we actually use that capspace on a player of significance, it's all just mythical. And we could get close to a 12 mil space with just our MLE

    I get that, but even if by some miracle he decides to sign with us, we are tying 100M+ again to 3 guards. Sound familiar? I'm sick and tired of guard city.

    I'd trade Simons at that point. I actually really like LaVine after watching him in the Olympics. He's a gamer.

    Try to get LaVine and then Sign and trade Ant?

    They aren't trading Ant, for better or worse.

    Maybe Brooklyn can structure the Simmons Harden trade as a 3way to get Grant?

    Yeah, we could sign him and if Ant shows out the rest of this season at PG, we might be able to get a big time PF for him in a sign and trade.

    We’re talking about receiving a 1st rd pick, not getting Richardson.

    Kyrie won't be playing with the ball in his hands at home games.

    Plus he’s from the Pac NW.

    But why does Chicago do it?

    They'd have to send Curry/Drummond to DET. Not sure BK wins that deal then.

    Why does Chicago have a choice? LaVine is a UFA.

    I'm not saying he would come here. The Bulls are a much better team than us. Just saying he's the best free agent on the market this summer.

    All one can do is hope to hell that the 2022 Pels FRP pick is Portland's. The trade that and whoever Portland picks immediately for something bigger.

    Then we better trade Dame because Dame/Ant is only a fraction better fit than Dame/CJ. They are still going to be a gaping hole in our defense and we know that doesn't work. But who the fuck knows... maybe Ant will become a great defender and play just as good off the ball as he does as the lead guard... not likely but anything can happen.

    Well he's expiring, so Cronin probably did too.
