    Exactly and what’s the fastest way to correct this lack of dependable depth while getting the most in return

    Hard disagree with you man. We have other options including picks with trades (non Austin), Walter’s proven hiring talent, beginning with the Tony Bennett “find us gems in the later draft positions and already in the NBA with specific talents we need, but languishing on the bench elsewhere types he hopefully gets to identify” acquisition, and developing internally with Thierro and Bronny even. AR is too multi talented to the benefit of this team to ship him out like that to fill THOSE holes. As if Luka is some ironman.

    I hope they find a gem of trade for AR otherwise this incremental improvement will take years.I guess most of this board is happy with the status quo but I believe it’s just wasting time

    Who and what Redick wants to keep on this roster in hard discussions with Walters and the front office will decide it. I trust what THEY will do. Even if I’m wrong.

    Reaves showed up to play. Unfortunately, the refs also showed up ready to play.

    I didn’t ask that.
    I will answer your question after you can answer mine.

    I don’t think you can answer mine which would be my point of you and others putting too much emphasis on getting someone of AR caliber when all you need is a competent secondary playmaker

    All of their non- bigs are ball handlers.
    Now you can answer mine.

    :Laugh: Wrong.Today right now it’s Ajay Mitchell,you know that guy who is killing it.I think everyone one would agree Ajay isn’t AR he isn’t Jalen Williams but he looks pretty competent now doesn’t he. I have already floated a couple trade ideas for AR don’t feel the need to rehash them
