The players we have that can be traded play the same position as the two most desirable players on the market. We were never going to make a move that didn't involve trading Trey or Herb. Trading Trey or Herb was never going to happen before Giannis, Jaylen Brown and LeBron found new teams. 2 of the 3 are settled. The price for Trey is public. Now you wait for the teams who don't get any of those guys to overpay.


Finally, someone with some sense on this board

At least we got our pick this year
Tobias is making +15 mill on an NBA Finals Team while Deandre is making the vet minimum on a 26 win team. Like what is that comparison
Would he have done if Wemby wasn’t there?
I was talking historically. Those teams primarily built through the draft
What free agents signed with OKC and SAS?
Exactly this fits the player empowerment part
If a guy doesn’t want to be in the city of New Orleans, then it doesn’t matter who is in charge.
Hard to build in the NBA between Market, Player Empowerment, luck
Bingo. If you want Trey you can get him but it’s gonna cost
What would have been an appropriate return?
The new coaching staff or the front office that values him will bury him on the bench?
Just want the team to make moves to say that made moves.
No one wants Poole
They aren’t getting offers that show how much they value Trey, Herb, Etc. if they did then a deal would’ve been done.
It ain’t like 2k where you got trade override on. It takes 2 to tango
Feverishly: 2nd round picks and a filler.

If we traded Yves for that and he contributes to a Championship team then the fanbase would be hot.
If it works then it works. I think they should just trade everyone other than Fears and Queen (for appropriate offers) and build from there. But I don’t work in the front office. But they probably want to give Mosley something to work with instead of punting. Fears is 19 so a year of coming off the bench with Queen could be good for their development. If it doesn’t work you can move on with a lottery potentially 2 picks on top of Fears and Queen.
So banking on:
-Dejounte keep returning to form
Trey keep progressing to 23 PPG
-Zion finally gets it in Year 8
-Fears and Queen progress in Year 2
-Missi Year 3 Capela leap
-Saddiq continue momentum from last season
-Herb Regains shooting
-and Karlo keeps developing

Lot of ifs but f it. Don’t work out like a lot of people says it won’t. Then you have your pick and with a Giannis less bucks team with a chance for 2 Top 4 picks and Trey, Herb, Dejounte (expiring), and Zion who could be flipped for assets. Not the worst plan

It’s easy to blame ownership when the real blame is not called out….
Poole/Hawkins and a 2nd for Turner and Kuzma

Dejounte/Fears/Pierre
Bey/Herb/Mcgowins
Trey/Kuzma/Peavy
Zion/Queen/Karlo
Turner/Missi/DJ
