Kira/NAW/Jaxson - Next Season
Posted on 3/28/21 at 8:16 am

Based off of what we have see lately with these guys, I think that all three have the potential to be NBA starters next season. While it's possible that one or even two of them could be traded in the offseason in an attempt to bring in a superstar like Bradley Beal, let's assume that all three are with the Pels next season.
What are your expectations for the three of them next year? Does Jaxson beat out Steven Adams for the starting job? If we re-sign Lonzo, who starts at guard and what do our rotations look like?

If Jaxson can give us for 25-30 mpg next season what he's given us these last few weeks we will be in really good shape next season.

Hopefully Kira can run the 2nd unit.
NAW and Lonzo could potentially start bc Zion is handling the ball.
Need to see more from Jax- he’s doing well against 2nd units but we don’t trust him yet.

If Griff trades Kira, I will be leading a hit squad on that motherfricker.

He shouldn’t trade any of the 3. They are on cheap contracts and growing exponentially. Imagine if this trend continues?

yeah, unless for a superstar. We are on the right track :) the contracts matter a lot and growth should be there

I kinda wanna see how things go the rest of the season. Give them big minutes to develop and see what you could potentially have next season. As of now, I want Kira to run the 2nd team offense, NAW to either be the starting SG or scorer of the bench, and Jaxson to split time with Adams at C.

I would definitely keep NAW in the starting lineup. He is just so much better as a starter. He has some problems with decision making and it gets worse with the second unit or rather it’s a bit better when he plays with the starters cause there is less room for hero ball
Posted on 3/28/21 at 11:25 am to Mad Scientist26
NAW needs to start. Bledsoe can be a net positive with the second unit, giving Kira some leeway for error.

I think it makes sense for the lineup to be Lonzo/ NAW/ BI/ Zion/ Adams. This would leave Kira, Hayes, and Hart coming off the bench.
I feel like the team goal is for Hayes to start 2 years from now, get a SF/ PF this draft, and then pick whatever position of need we have for the next draft.
Draft a SF/ PF, get a veteran guard and veteran forward in free agency, then let the young guys show off next season.

Yeah if they draft a guard or a center I will go mad
Posted on 3/28/21 at 11:44 am to PolishFan
If everything works out I can see us drafting a C or PF in 2 years. Adams would be on his final year and hopefully backing up Hayes by then. But yeah a backup PF or SF should be the target this draft.

You’d be foolish to trade any 3 of those guys. Rookies on cheap deals who are developing very well.
I don’t understand the inclination to throw them in every trade deal possible.

Because you’ll have to if you trade for a high level player. If the right star becomes available, basically a prime Paul George type, I’d trade a lot. Other than that I think you keep developing what you have and see where it goes. If you draft and develop well you might not need a big trade.

I like Kispert from this draft seeing how all three of these guys are developing.
Even though Kispert is a senior, guy is probably the best 3pt shooter in the draft.

Giving up 2 of those guys plus draft capital, is it worth it? Contract wise, we take a hit, and we lose depth that could potentially be amazing talent. I know having a known commodity is valuable, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see NAW is obviously an NBA player. If Jax and Kira continue this assent, we don’t need a prime Paul George type.

If any of you think that we could get a superstar like Beal without giving up at least one of these guys, you're nuts.
And as far as future draft picks go, we'll still draft the best player available, regardless of position, precisely because either the players picked will replace a traded NAW/Kira/Hayes, or the players we draft will get traded themselves.
When our championship window opens, I guarantee you that there will be trades to maximize that opportunity right away.

But I agree that, generally, building a dynasty happens through the draft. San Antonio drafted Robinson, Ginobili, Parker, and Duncan. Golden State drafted Steph, Klay, and Draymond.
But we'll still make trades for role players.

He’s probably one of of the more NBA ready guys in this draft. His game would fit in nicely with what we need going into the draft.

Based on Langdon and Griffin's past drafts here, I don't think they value upperclassmen and would probably prefer younger prospects with higher upside. We haven't drafted anyone older than 20 and I don't anticipate they will in this draft. If they ever draft an upperclassmen, you have got to believe the prospect have Brandon Roy type of potential.
