re: Which Ryno trade do you like the best?

They should have been forced to give us their 1st rounder as compensation for that bullshite they pulled.

$3 million cash definitely wasn't enough. BirdWrites's article on it was great last year.

We tried to build around AD23 too quickly, like Cleveland did with Lebron. I don’t see it happening again.
Being able to offer the All Stars like Kyrie, DRose, AD23 etc the 5 year max extension, and guarantee them $100mm+, they aren’t turning that down. There is no need to rush to build around them, if you can realistically expect to have them for 8 years. You keep losing and drafting till the star signs his extension, then you have 4 years to run deep.

No Jrue trade, means no Reke trade, and then no Asik trade, and no Asik contract.

2013 Draft: Nerlens Noel, he sits out 2013-14, Trade: Eric Gordon, Greivis Vasquez, Robin Lopez
2014 Draft: No worse than Dario Saric, doesn’t play 2014-15
2015 Draft: No worse than Devin Booker or Kelly Oubre Jr, Trade: Ryan Anderson

2016: AD23/Noel/Saric/Booker, Cap to sign 2 MAX FA’s.. Top 5 pick. 4 years to make AD23 happy. Very similar to what Hinkie is trying to do, except our Embiid has been playing the entire time.
