    I want to be co conductor, Augustus is going to be amazing. I like what we have done with limited resources. We are to have AR and AM. AM is going to explode in the NBA.

    How many rosters spots do we have? If he’s good I don’t want Sarunas’ son become another GPII or Scotty Jr, developed in our farm system and just let go

    I think the script changed. We were in Bron/AD window and heavily investing in win now moves, as is Bron's approach. We were looking at a max 3 year window.

    It changed as soon as we traded for Luka, our window is 7-10 year window. I believe we will invest heavily in developing guys who are cost-controlled and can become rotation players. We are already doing that with Goodwin, we tried the same with Koloko/Jemison and more will follow.

    I think the last 3 roster spots + the three 2-way will be young guys to develop rather than the Wood/Reddish type of guys

    I think this is a blessing. The way the new CBA is built, you need players over performing their contracts to get an edge and ultimately contend.

    That's why I'm not sold on trading Reaves, even at 30m he'll out perform his contract.
