re: 10 teams have shown interest in Jrue

"You forget so easily every year how Dell was desperate to put talent around AD but coukdnt because he had already traded away that years first. You never know when you have to attach a first to get rid of a bad contract or make a trade for a player that goes on the block unexpectedly."

I don't forget. Dell isn't here, AD isn't here, and we have a completely different organization. When are people like you going to realize that instead of living in the past? I didn't forget it pal I'm just not gonna spend every day thinking we are ran the same way.

Your post was stupid because we already have EXTRA firsts and draft picks. We didn't even have OUR draft picks then. So once again no I don't want to trade Jrue for more picks that won't do shite for us.

Attach a first to get rid of a bad contracts? We don't have any of those and we won't as long as people like you aren't running the team trying to trade Jrue for extra 2nd rd draft picks or picks after BI/ Zion aren't on our team.

Give me an argument that doesn't include you or anyone whining about what we did in the past and actually comparing it to the team/ organization we have now.

Who says no?

But really, it depends on how contract talks go with Lonzo, and how he feels about the possibility of playing off-ball. If he's convinced that he's a PG and wants a 20 mil salary, then I'm fine with getting what we can for him. If he's reasonable about contract #'s and being a role player for this team, then I want to see him in that role.

It's more how I view how the offense should operate.

I think BI is best as the primary initiator/ball handler a la Jimmy in Miami.

Need a secondary ballhandler/creator off the initial action or someone that can catch and shoot.

I think Ball can do the latter but don't trust him as the former in the half court. Rubio is a willing passer and good creator. While a downgrade on the 3pt shooting he makes enough. He's also better at attacking the rim and getting to the line. He's also under contract for 2 more years and avoids the potential Ball price tag

We have 2 1st rd picks from the Lakers and a pick swap over the next 5 years?

5 years:

7 1st round picks + 1 swap

11 2nd round picks

Who knows if we even draft half of those picks. What we should be focusing on is getting guys around BI/ Zion to help them get better ASAP. Look for young proven players that can have an impact > mouth watering for more draft picks.

"let's get a leader to help BI/ Zion"

"let's also surround them by nothing but rookies"

" we have barely any draft picks, what if we have to use a 1st to send out a bad contract that doesn't exist"

I mean some of the crap said on here makes no sense.

We have been needing a true number 1 for awhile
They need to get a vet or start grooming a pick
