2024-25 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

agreed with your post except this part. i think we're semi-desperate in that the lebron/AD era is coming to a rapid close, and we don't have another star in the making. we definitely want one. zion is probably the only one currently available (maybe trae young, too?), hence the discussion.

i agree with others that we're one of the last places NO wants to send him, though. should he get his health right and dominate, they won't want to have to deal with the PR fallout for a decade.

 

I get that, but we are still a place many stars want to play (brought us Bron and AD) and we still have assets. At this point, we can be in the discussion for any superstars in the next 2/3 years. I think there's like 20 teams who are in a worse position than us.
As we've discussed in the past, Ant, Luka, Mitchell, Booker can all become available in that period and I would hate to not be able to get them because we went for Zion.

But yes, absolutely agree that we will need to hit really well in the next couple of power moves we do, otherwise we will suck for many years.

This is a clear case of opportunity cost.

 

Luka is morphing into the worst defender in the league - he's seriously threatening Dlo here for the title. I kid I kid
