Remember the Dave Chappelle show episode when everyone found out he got $50 mil and then the new price for his haircut was $11,000?
On one hand, yes, Presti's in that Ainge mentality where every trade has to be a win, but a lot of it also has to do with the 2nd apron. They should be able to add guys on shorter deals before Chet/Jalen get more money and a Shai supermax arrives, kinda like how NFL teams wanna win a superbowl before they gotta pay the QB. Who these targets are? I've suggested Bridges, some suggested Claxton or Gafford when he was out there. There aren't many guys who make sense to blow away with a big time offer. There's less of those guys than we've seen in a while, let alone guys who fit what OKC is doing.
The plan is kinda just to let it develop and when some guys get paid or it's time to avoid the apron, use the draft picks to replenish that talent. Kind of a sound idea, but nobody has that kind of a success rate. Poku didn't work. Mann didn't last. Micic they mighta underutilized given how he's playing. Dieng is in year 2 and we have learned absolutely nothing about him.

Not that I'm a huge believer in Sarr, but if OKC wants to make a move, that could be an option. Clingan could be in their range though, maybe even Missi, but if it ain't a ready made center, they don't have the minutes to offer. They'll just play for the Blue.

Time to go!!
They have extensions coming up.
Minny has three bigs they can’t afford to pay goin forward. Surely OKC can pick up the phone and talk.

1. then how will OKC afford to pay for it?
2. Given how close they are in the standings, you'd have to find a trade that doesn't significantly make them worse

I thought he maintained his vertical space
. Sixers were up all game and the Clippers literally tried to give them the game multiple times. Can’t come down to just one call
