Question is what of the existing roster does it take to get those guys also? If it’s some of the guys we are talking about as unneeded, sure. If rotation pieces are needed, we might have a hole to fill still for at least depth (not insurmountable).
Does this mean that Batum is probably gone from the Clippers? Does he have anything left? Lets say we could make a trade for Myles Turner and then find a way to pick up Batum while keeping the rest of our core minus draft pick and Maxi or something similar. Does that put us a little closer to contender? We would still have flexibility for a future move as well.
Also, the RoCo extension maybe is an indication that Batum has said he wants out? If that’s the case, what would he want that LAC aren’t giving him and we could provide?
