Instead of hoarding capspace they are waiting two years for a pick to convert. You f*cked up the last two big asset trades (Rondo/Porzingis). Why should we expect this one to go any better?
I have a feeling we´ll be the team that will grossly overpay for Durant next year and then you better win the title immediately, cause just like Porzingis the data is not your friend. Only 16 players in the NBA right now 35 or older. Only one player is averaging more than 13 PPG --> LeBron on the 3-10 Lakers playing sieve defense. Only two averaging more than 5 RPG.
Executing is worrisome, but if we can just hold onto our FRPs past next years draft, we'll control all of our future firsts which gives us as much flexibility as we've had since we moved up to draft Luka. I think that's the smartest thing to do unless a sweetheart deal presents itself. No idea who they will chase.
I don't think it would ever happen, my ideal older guy is Lillard.
