    What don't you like about that idea? What is your plan?

    JJ and Luka are sickos, bring them all on.

    The Robinson White and Washington idea I posted above, is a better team IMO.

    Your idea is awesome, but unlikely. I like your idea better, but would use some different ideas as back up plans.

    Gianiss to Portland is a good trade for both teams.

    We’d have to get creative to get him.

    hear me out, this may sound crazy, but if we can't get Giannis, it may make sense to trade Austin for KD. Reasoning:

    - Fit with Luka is much better
    - Still playing at a high level with 2 Years left on his contract so not locking ourselves to a huge long contract
    - Houston are desperate to get rid of him.
    - Houston need a point guard
    - Austin is much younger and fits their timeline much better
    - KD is a snake but probably worth it from a basketball standpoint

    this would be valid especially If Lebron leaves. I don't think KD's ego could handle playing with Lebron.
