like i said, lonzo has no future with lebron and his lakers. if james jones gets lonzo, he earns the right to become suns gm.

Would still need more. A pick & Collins or something. Maybe 2 picks. You're talking about the 3rd or 4th best player in the league depending on how you feel about KD.Split T wrote:I wonder if Portland could be a dark horse candidate to trade for AD. McCollum/Nurkic for AD/Mirotic
Jrue/CJ/Moore/Randle/Nurkic is still a solid team
Not sure who Portland puts at the 2/3, but Lillard/AD is legit and Mirotic is a good piece next to them.
Shel, we have burned our Klutch sports bridge. Relationships matter. The organization that represents Bledsoe & Earl Watson is not going to allow their client to sign here. I understand how tantalizing it is to daydream about AD but it's not going to happen.ShelC wrote:If the Pels want to tear it down they'll want capspace, picks and young talent. If they want to stay the course they'll want a talented big back. I dont think any team can offer better than Ayton. Kuz is an attractive piece but he's a piece, not a franchise-type. We can offer the most talent if we decide to.
I think McD was the big problem with Klutch, I’m not worried about that anymore.carey wrote: ↑Tue Jan 29, 2019 6:52 amShel, we have burned our Klutch sports bridge. Relationships matter.

Throw a pick in there. I think it just depends on what New Orleans wants...Adding two, young, above-average to near all star pieces isn’t nothing. This would allow them to stay relevant. If they want to rebuild, this obviously is not an enticing deal.carey wrote: ↑Tue Jan 29, 2019 6:45 amWould still need more. A pick & Collins or something. Maybe 2 picks.

I'm sorry, Split, but that's a bit naive. We know how present Sarver is with front office decisions. Players know that even better than we do. Firing McDonough didn't fix anything player relations wise.
Dunno about that. He’s in pretty select company. http://bkref.com/tiny/Ok1Kp
I’d move our pick next year top 1 protected for JrueRing_Wanted wrote: ↑Tue Jan 29, 2019 10:23 amFor the folks wanting to trade for Jrue, are you willing to part with our '19 pick with little to no protection? Because that would be the absolutely minimum to start the conversation if I am NOP.
I believe NOP wouldn't even register an offer of say Warren, Jackson, Bender, MIL pick. Do you send NOP Anderson, Jackson and PHX '19 unprotected? If they say no, do you add Bridges and/or another 1stR (better than MIL)?
As for Ball, if LAL takes him for Jackson (and little to no extra compensation, if needed) I am all for it, despite the Lavar circus.
You may be right, but the Klutch clients we had issues with, Bledsoe, Morris brothers, etc. all had run ins with McD, not Sarver. So yes, sarver has player relation issues, but everything specific with klutch clients dealt with McD. I believe even one of the Morris brothers commented that they had no further issues with Phoenix because everyone they had issues with was gone.
Same. And I wouldn’t hesitateSplit T wrote: ↑Tue Jan 29, 2019 10:33 amI’d move our pick next year top 1 protected for JrueRing_Wanted wrote: ↑Tue Jan 29, 2019 10:23 amFor the folks wanting to trade for Jrue, are you willing to part with our '19 pick with little to no protection?
