Ok here’s a hypothetical…Giannis asks out and Houston/OKC proceed to fight over his services. OKC decides they won’t part with Chet or JDub and they turn to us and offer Hartenstein/Dort for KD…How many 1sts would you need to make that trade…OKC has 10 tradable 1sts I believe.

All of them…. I want them all. Jk

Realistically? 4 would be good, but think 3 is more realistic.

[Split T]

4 is what I’d hope for. Dort and Hartenstein are good role players, but there’s no potential for anything more with them. It would depend too on the quality of the picks. If they are just OKCs own picks, I’d want more. I need at least one high quality pick…I believe they have a Jazz pick.

[Flagrant Fowl]

I'll hold my breath when it comes to Ishbia hiring/promoting people already in his lifelong basketball circle because Josh Bartelstein's connection to Bradley Beal has killed this franchise's trajectory more than anything since the Bender & Chriss draft.

[Mori Chu]

We're going to get an all-Michigan front office changeover, aren't we? Isiah, here we come!

[JeremyG]

I think he learned the night he bought the team that he can’t hire Isiah…but if it wasn’t for the uproar he probably would have by now.

Alexa, show me how to beat a dead horse.

Want to hear something depressing?

Here’s where the suns ranked in shooting % from each range:

0-3 feet: 1st
3-10 feet: 9th
10-16 feet: 2nd
16-3P: 1st
3P: 3rd

Problem is where we took the shots. Dead last in number of rim attempts

And just shows how horrible our defense was.

What about Detroit for KD? You’d have to take Harris back, but then I’d want Ausar Thompson as my big piece coming back. Probably either Ivey or Sasser too.

Would KD go there? Cade/KD/Duren is nice. Could bring back THJ/Beasley/Schroeder and hope Holland develops. That’s pretty good.

I don't think KD would want to go there, and I don't see Detroit thinking KD makes sense for them. They still need to get Ivey back, Ausar will continue to develop; there is a lot of room for internal improvement.

Is anyone else hoping we actually win the lottery and give Houston the 1st pick? I think it would be a good learning experience

No. My fandom doesn't need a learning experience. I've had enough already. Ayton and Haliburton immediately come top of mind.

Well I meant learning experience for Ishbia mostly…not you

[O_Gardino]

Here's hoping Ishbia can learn. I can't believe I'm saying this, but we have to hope he has a Cubanesque learning curve.

But we are all affected too.

Pat Riley says Heat were locked in with Phoenix Suns on Jimmy Butler trade before Warriors deal came together
https://hoopshype.com/2025/05/09/pat-ri ... -together/

Why didn’t the Heat get more for Jimmy Butler? Pat Riley: “If you want a dissertation on 13 [trades], we will be here a half hour. We were pretty much locked in with one team [Phoenix]. It didn’t happen there. We took the deal we felt was best for us now and in the future. We have young players. We have medium age players in their prime. Our draft picks are in better order than what they were. We have a lot of flexibility. That’s where the blueprint will come this summer.”

I still think we're better off not having gotten Jimmy.

There was another report today that the Heat will try for KD again this summer but won't give up some crazy package of picks for him.
