re: Fischer: Pels 8th pick a likely trade target, either back or for a vet.

I personally think they need to develop rookies and try avoiding the tax until they have to pay Herb. It shouldn't slow the timeline down much assuming Herb/Jose/Trey continue to develop, and makes keeping the core together much more sustainable once Zion/BI are in their primes. If you start the tax clock next year, you'll be in the very punitive repeater tax when they are just hitting their championship stride.

I don't see how we can keep the core together, give Zion his extension, and stay out of the tax.

I think that this is our last season under the tax.
