Just realized if we trade for Mitchell and extend Rj, that’s the two designated rookies and wouldn’t be able to extend obi, quick or grimes if they break out anyway. They would have to take a lower extension or we sign them through free agency
You can still resign them in restricted free agency.

Brunson/Rose
Mitchell/
RJ / Cam
Randle/ Cam
Mitch/IHart/Sim

I could see why Grimes was a deal breaker. They need a SG in the rotation who can defend to give this any chance of working.

Brunson/Rose
Mitchell/Grimes
RJ / Cam
Randle / Cam
Mitch/IHart/Sim

This is still bad depth wise but at least there isn’t this obvious hole at SG. Also I just don’t like it. I really don’t. If a starter outside of Mitchell or Mitch misses a significant amount of games that lineup is fukked.
We probably bring back Melo in this scenario.

i say we focus on trading randle so obi can start and just roll with what we have.
I'm for starting the season as is and if Randle value can get raised get him outta here. Donovan has a FIVE year deal he isn't going anywhere else no other team has the capital. We control this game.
