What do you think our record would be today if Dejounte had been healthy all year?

I don’t think he makes us a playoff contender by any means but looking at the standings and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say we would jump Memphis for the 11th spot but still 7 games behind Portland. I think DM is showing enough for us to possibly be able to trade him without having to add much value, if any at all. Fears is looking better and better to me, I doubt they will be able to keep him on the bench next season.

Maybe 8 more wins.

He adds some leadership to the court, but this team is still limited.

I’m starting to actually like the fit of the team, outside of Zion and Poole. Both need to be replaced by more consistent 3 point shooting. Trey cannot be the only guy knocking down 3s.

I’d be good flipping Poole, Zion and Herb for someone who can create and hit a jumper consistently.

TOR: '29 pick swap/ 3 2nds/ Hawk/ Looney
BOS: Herb/ Zion/ (whatever else)
Pels: Jaylen Brown/ Jacob Poeltl

DJ/ Fears
Brown/
Bey/ McGowens/ Peavy
Trey/ Queen/ Karlo
Poeltl/ Missi

Flip Poole for PG/ SG depth.

I’d do that 100 times out of 100

We can pull off the Poeltl half pretty easily. I think that's a trade we look at regardless of another bigger move.

As far as Jaylen Brown, I don't think they can get better assets than Zion/ Herb in a return for him. Throw in that we can send up to 3 1sts + 2 swaps and its 100% possible.

Even if another teams offers a top 5 pick, they would be hesitant to add 3/4 more and still have to match salary.

Jaylen Brown would take that group to the next level and sell a lot of tickets.

Also lock up bey to a long term deal.

I don’t know why Jaylen Brown would be available but I’d absolutely ship Zion off for him. Isn’t it crazy how damn bad the AD trade went for us? We could have had Jaylen Brown easily. I guess AD tanking his value and saying he’d only sign with the Lakers didn’t help.

I like how you cut off the rest of my sentence because it didn’t fit your narrative.

The narrative that you are grossly overinflating the talent of this roster, even when you take out Zion and Poole?

No... it fits perfectly.

I think Trey Murphy, Dejounte Murray, Bey, DQ, and Fears are very very good players. I do not give a singular frick if you disagree.

Considering contracts and we don't have a first round pick, I think everyone should be on the table except for Fears and Queen.

Sure. But more than those two will be kept. Who would you be ok with staying besides them?

He doesn’t actually have an opinion lol. He’s just here to call Zion fat and be miserable.

You're like the little brother that loves to chirp when the adults are around.

I know that more than two will be kept for next year, but by the time Fear and Queen come into their own, Trey, Herb and Murray will be on their way out. The timeline ain't timelining.
