DRAFT: #18 [Green] & #31 [Terry] & trade for #36 [Tyler Bey]

[ItsGoTime]

The thing lost in all this LaVine buzz here is that I don't know that the Mavs have anything the Bulls want.

Oladipo on the other hand I think is gettable, particularly if THJ is able to be packaged with 18.

I remember a report saying Ind doesn't really want picks though, they want players.

Hmmmm I think I just talked myself into transitioning Giannis 2021 into Beal 2022. Plan Powder is back, baby.

I've been waiting for this to happen. Transitioning usually happens after the targetted offseason, but this is just as good. Now let's figure out the name in 2023.

You don’t have to worry. Once Luka signs his extension, that ship has sailed. I think the only shots they’ll have at significant cap space (without blowing the team up) are next summer and possibly the year after. 

I don’t anticipate that they’ll tread water for even that long. 

Anyone they bring in with a multi-year deal, even a good one like Rubio’s, will be someone they believe can fit here long term. It will either mean they think they can work around the deal next summer or that they found a path they like enough to blow all of that off. I expect the former, but wouldn’t be shocked by the latter.

Let's not be too sure of ourselves. Habits form is less time and effort!
