Just to add, adding Kuzma, Bradley, Rondo, and say Monroe this offseason would be a pretty winning offseason.

I’m just saying adding Deng is a huge risk.

I'm in for that.

Not wild about Howard or Monroe at all. But the general idea is a winning one

Swapping Cousins for wing help should be the goal

I honestly do not understand the rumors about us so far.

Only ones I’ve seen from national press is us after McGee and Monroe. A bit perplexing.

Deng could give you a little in the interim too? Nowhere near that contract but I don’t think he’s in Asik territory yet

Rumors of Javale, Monroe, tyreke give the impression that we are trying to mess up a good thing.

That's just something they agreed on tho---i think he has a little left in the tank.

Based on him being fully healthy. I don't think he'd fit our style of play but I can see him going somewhere and contributing.

People were thinking he might be done before last year. And he played 1 game.

I mean...maybe he will. But there’s nothing to base it on.

Kuzma makes under $2 million. He and Deng together for 2 years is fine if he’s a legit starting SF. Wouldn’t you trade Solo for a starting SF making $20?

Yeah I would. Look if we can get Kuzma I’m on board but no one should be happy about taking Deng or expect anything out of him

But if we ended the offseason with say Kuzma, Avery Bradley, Rondo and McGee I’d be thrilled.

Just a pipe dream, but could Warren be available from the Suns? They extended him last year but also drafted Jackson last year, drafted Bridges this year, and signed Ariza.

If so, would any combination Etwaun, and 2nd round pick(s) work? They aren't expected to re-sign Payton, so Booker could go back to being the primary ball handler, and Etwaun would give them a second starting quality guard, with one less year on Etwauns deal.

I know it isn't likely, but one can dream.

Trade exception is not something You can add to trade like salary.

You can give them rights to Latavious Williams and take Troy Daniels into exception.
Or offer them top55 protected 2nd rounder.
