GAME 6 PLAYOFF DIRKIE

[mvossman]

Yeah it´s amazing how the front office have turned this around in just 18 months: age, cap, quality. That´s when you can even forgive screw-ups like Grant Williams. Yes we don´t have that many assets left, but we also only need 1-2 players for the next two years. We use two unprotected 1sts to acquire Simons for THJ+Powell  our roster for the next two years is likely locked in as

Doncic/Simons/Exum
Irving/Hardy/Lawson
DJJ/Green/
Washington/Kleber/OMax
Gafford/Lively/

We literally have to do nothing else for two years and be very serious contenders. By that time we have more future 1sts available again.

You had me until that trade.  Don't want to pay two unprotected firsts for a 6th man.  Somebody mentioned this earlier and I totally agree.  We should be going the Boston route.  Aim for spending no more than a single pick on good players.  We completely rebuilt this team spending single pick on Kyrie, Lively, and PJ (and a swap on Gafford).  That should be strategy going forward.  I would be willing to spend a pick (plus Timmy) on Caruso, but if we can hold onto DJJ I would agree a 6th man would be the higher priority.  I just have no interest paying more than a first for that.
