Yeah the question is do you get a third star or spread the money evenly to get depth. Some of these “stars” be overrated
I think I would lean towards depth. I'd be looking at guys like Bogdanovic, Redikk, bringing Brook back, that cocksucker Beverley, Mirotic, Rose, JaMychal Green, Mike Scott, Seth Curry, etc.

Denver almost won 60 games with one of the youngest teams in the league. You really think the young gonna blow that up for for a one year rental?
I wouldn't do it. Murray could become a great scorer and there is no way in hell AD stays in Denver. But GM's love the possibility of microwave championships.

The reason Masai traded DeRozan was that even if they lost Kawhi, they get rid of the contract and he can rebuild with Lowry having an expiring next year. Not many teams will trade away their whole young team for a rental they are not sure of. AD is not gonna build a friendship with Jokic like PG did with Russ either, no reason for them to go all in. Their timeline is a long one and they are gonna stick with it.

They probably feel they're just another solid piece away from being the best team themselves now, I don't see them making the move either

After all the fallout from tonight we will give up Kuzma. The west is wide open. Zo/BI/Kuzma/#4

with the Klay news im honestly open to getting AD by any means even if we gotta give up all 4 of the youngn's:ld:

Bron and AD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Steph and Draymond

We'd be easy title favorites with the ways the Dubs looking right now

Hopefully we can make a trade that lets us keep BI or Zo, but at this point we can pretty much make the Finals with just Bron and AD :yeshrug:

Yeah if AD and Bron stay 100% healthy.

You know AD gonna miss some time during the regular season, and Bron's armor is starting to wear off with his injury last year.

They gotta keep one of the young'ns man. Preferably Zo.

Biggest thing we need is depth, fill out that bench, we need scorers that can get buckets while starters rest and can put pressure on opposing teams

Lonzo/Kuz/Hart and 4 for AD otherwise Pelicans can go fukk themselves

Then you can keep Ingram or package him with KCP for another player

Kawhi or not. The West is ours:demonic: Klay injury changes EVERYTHING. If that NO prefer Kuz report is true he gotta go asap:camby: Keep Ingram. Sign Beverley, Reddikk and bring Ariza home. Get a back up PG like Curry

Davis/McGee
Lebron/Wagner
Ingram/Ariza
Bullock/Reddikk
Beverley/Curry

TYRONE GA!
Just gotta pray AD and Bron stay healthy now :damn:

Yeah fam. And I aint sayin one bad thing about the Dubs injuries. We know AD's injury history and Bron still hasn't had a substantial one in his career.

Gonna be a real Game of Thrones in the west next season......

Sidenote: I'd run that box and 1 and double Steph the ENTIRE season next season if I'm an opposing team. No one else is worth a damn offensively on their team next season :mjlol:
