Someone more consistent and playing better team basketball. That and Luka keep shooting the 3 until his 3 point shot is back to the normal. I hope we make a move with THJ at the trade deadline.
Yeah I think the idea is to position ourselves to make one #2/#3 option trade with THJ as the core salary + filler + picks. We also still need a better classic rebounding center with some rim protection, but somebody like Robin Lopez is available for the minimum every summer. You can probably also find a player like that in the draft and build him up over 12-18 months. Doesn´t need to be a big salary.
Really sucks that Lillard and Beal are such loyal b*stards. Though I think there is still a chance Beal bails to Boston this summer and Lillard finally accepts a mutural trade agreement with the Blazers that sends him to the Mavs franchise of his choice.
