Shamit Dua thinks we need to get Towns or Kristaps even if it means trading Ingram or CJ.

Agree? Time to let loose Ingram or CJ?

I think whatever the Pels do this summer, they should get a high volume 3pt attempt big man. The team just will never be a high volume team if both of the bigs don't shoot. Kristaps and Towns are who I'm looking. Yes that means trading one or more of your big salary players.

I would let loose Zion. He doesn’t play, why keep him…?

Wouldn’t mind hanging onto CJ and see how he fits with other pieces, not as primary ball handler. I get he has been frustrating lately and turns the ball over, but he’s a cultural anchor, and can actually stay healthy and play thru injury. He needs to play off ball like in Portland.
BI and Zion are unstoppable when healthy, but you can’t keep going thru every year like this.
Idk…maybe it’s Aaron Nelson and the training staff that needs to be traded.

Rather than wasting a 7 footer 30 ft from the basket, the Pels can likely achieve a similar result in a more traditional way by (1) getting a good stretch 4/5 to backup Zion, and (2) swapping one of our D specialists that’s in the rotation for a shooter with size, also likely without having to bail on our big 3.
**I feel like we still have too many guys that either need to play PG, or are undersized at SG (in CJ/Dyson/Jose/Kira) too and would like to turn a one or two of those guys into another shooter with size and/or depth at the 5.
PG: CJ/Jose/Kira
SG: BI/Dyson
SF: Trey/Cam Johnson*
PF: Zion/Kelly Olynyk*/EJ Liddell
C: Larry/Billy
*Could be other specific players but this is the concept (about $30mm to use…closer to $25mm if you don’t include Naji/Herb to trade)
Doing it that way adds to the teams depth and provides more lineup flexibility, which is badly needed with fragile stars.
The cap gets tight this way, but should be able to stay under the the luxury tax filling in the roster with minimums (and/or by keeping either of Naji/Herb if not traded in the upgrade).

If we trade Ingram for Kristaps Porzingis I would blow a gasket.

The more Shamit writes the more I'm unimpressed.
Posted on 3/12/23 at 11:46 am to LivingstonLaw
Kristaps is a little bitch no thanks
Posted on 3/12/23 at 11:54 am to LivingstonLaw
Porzingis yes. At least he can defend.

Not a no, but a HELL no to KAT.
He is a really unique player, but offensively he's best used inside, not outside. Similar to embiid, you do not relegate him to the 3pt line.
And, financially to both being in their essentially last year...we're talking about paying either a max after? Nope, can't happen.
KP also has the injury log sheet that is gonna make you wanna gauge your eyes out even worse

What does kristaps' contract look like?
Towns i don't want. Soft

NGL, I’m pretty disappointed with BI this year. Hopefully we ca get a healthy season out of him to move him. I think he wants to be great but just doesn’t have the mental toughness to play through injury
