I did not know Stephen A Smith was on this forum. That said things are coming together. But you know Joe can blow this up too Just ask Detroit.

On that note let’s look forward to the draft. Wait a minute.

I wonder if we will see these threads when the draft rolls around.

Well if we keep moving up the standings and the pick falls around 10 then no one is going to be all that upset. Queen was worth moving up for the 23rd pick or whatever it was and a late 2026 lottery.

Nothing we’ve done has mattered since we started 3-22… context is important.

Sure, we can justify that if that's how it falls, but you also have to remember we are the only non-playoff team trying to win games right now, and we are winning. If we had our own pick, i;m pretty sure things would be a bit different with who has a bo-bo and can't play this game or that game.



That being said, i'm enjoying watching a team that can compete and win games, and both rookies have been playing really well late in this season.

Here's some fun encouraging rookie stats for the month of March:
DQ is 30-30 from the FT line this month. That's right. 30 in a row.
Fears is shooting 49% from 3 on 4 attempts per game.

Team looks the best I have seen right now with this roster. I all for running it back if it means we do not make any dumb moves or win now moves in the off-season that hurt the future.

If you are able to add some more shooting by moving some fringe players do that.

Everybody that is saying we need to trade players now, who are we trading for that would be better? I know some of the posters on this board think we can package players we want to move for some all stars and convince themselves the trade is viable.

If you can trade the expiring contract of Poole and Hawkins for literally anything this offseason, this roster can be pretty good.

Interested to see final 12 games. This board is going to be wild for the lottery.

I don’t think you can run it back.

I think you need to move Zion and Poole and maybe even Murray if you get a good deal now that he’s shown he can actually still play.

I’ll admit to being dead wrong about him. Achilles rehab has come a longgg way.

Fears is th future at PG and Queen is your PF. Zion isn’t going to fetch a ton but having his healthiest season ever is probably the best time to trade him.

Poole is an expiring and sucks so just take back a different rehab project.

Murray/Fears
Bey/Herb
Trey
Queen/Karlo
FA or trade target/Missi

Add some shooters with the picks and or players you get from Zion and that’s decent. Just need to hope that the rookies eventually become franchise players.

Move Murray? He is the first true alpha we have had on this team since CP3 and DWest. For whatever reason, we only have had gentleman stars and injured pussies since.

I would not move DJM in the off-season. I think he a great person for Feara to learn from and he had looked Damm good since he has been back.

The main issue i have for moving Poole is what do we have to take back to make $$ work. I dont want Poole but I dont want to overpay to move him

Having Murray run point is what this team has been missing for years.

1. He has a dawg mentality
2. He's a skilled ball handler
3. He can get to the rim, hit the midrange jumper, and knock down the 3

And the biggest of them all!!

4. In the clutch, he wants the ball and can be the playmaker we've been missing who can take anyone off the dribble or make the right play without forcing something for himself.
