Watching these 4 Western Conference teams currently playing, one thing is for certain...

If we get Garland or Murray, we're still miles away from being on the level of these teams.

We'd need to then use CJ, all the picks and 1 of or some combo of Herb/Dyson/Hawkins to get yet another guy to be a true contender.

It's part of the reason why I don't think Garland is actually a good fit. Way too pricy to add a $40mil dude who at best would need to be our #3 option on the best version of what this team can be. He's not a #2.

Nah. Don't be a prisoner of the moment. Get Zion to the fricking playoffs healthy and it's on

We should use the Mavs as an example. They bought low on a malcontent star who was a headache- who’s basically turned around his career in Dallas. Hmm who’s that sound like- oh wait theres this malcontent star in Atlanta who is a headache that can be bought low on named Trae Young.

At the end you trade for the star and the most gettable star for this pels team is likely Trae Young.

That’s why we need Trae…

This is where I'm at too. You use BI to get Allen this offseason, securing your center for the future. But that still only gets us a second round exit in the playoffs. The following offseason is what is going to make or break this team because like you said...it's going to take CJ+Dyson+Hawkins+multiple first round picks to get THE guy next to Zion.

The only way this is different is if SOMEHOW (this isn't going to happen) Griff manages to swing a mega deal for Allen and Mitchell (he would have to agree to an extension before the trade) and would include everything I mentioned above.

Mitchell
Trey
Herb
Zion
Allen

Gets you to the top of the WCF. But that's not going to happen. Mitchell wants a big market. Best case is BI for Allen/Levert and then we go big game hunting with CJ+Dyson+Hawkins and multiple firsts the following offseason
