Would you trade a top 2 pick for Domantas Sabonis?

There’s rumblings about if Sabonis wants to be in SAC and if they want him and his contract. I think he makes $43 million next year. You’d have to include CJ or Dejounte to help offset contracts but you’d finally have your starting 5 to play with Zion. I’m not sure I would though. I really think Dylan Harper is going to be a good #3 option and lead guard like his dad but better. If Sabonis wasn’t making max level money I’d have to consider it though.

No.

He’s good but not “top 2 pick in this draft” good.

Devin Booker? Didn’t know he was available. I’d do that deal in a heartbeat.

I would call Okc and see if we could get a deal for Chet.

OKC gets a talented player. Okc is getting expensive and it helps space out having to extend contracts

No, teams are more likely to give you several future picks than to give away their top pick.

Now would I trade a pick around #10-15 and a young player for Sabonis? Probably.

I would probably trade 26' and 27' for him but would not also trade either of Missi/ Karlo.


Realistically the much much better option would be to trade for Cam Johnson who is on the market. We could do CJ/ Hawk for Cam and get almost a 15MIL TPE for another shooter along with drafting a shooter top 5 and resigning Brown.

Murray/ Brown/ Jose/ Reeves
Trey/ TPE/ DRAFT
Cam J/ Herb/ Boston
Zion/ Karlo/
Olynk/ Missi/ Vet or rookie

That's what I would do...

That be a dream to get rid of CJ and get Cam. But I have a feeling OKC would offer a better package deal than us.


Sabonis would help this team out a lot with his rebounding and passing. But I wouldn’t trade a top 2 for him.

You're not trading Missi for Sabonis?

Sabonis is literally perfect for Zion and Murphy.

Yet Missi is your hold up?

Yes.

I would simply trade any unproven future 1st > attaching Missi.

We don't need to be spending a shite ton of money at center when we need more shooting. By adding Cam > Sabonis we can now move Trey to SG and have a massive lineup.

We need young talent. We don't need expensive vets.

Sabonis is overrated and not a winning ball player

He’s a wannabe Jokic and Sengun
