All trades should be made with a simple premise:
1. Set yourself up better for the future!!!
2. Try not to sacrifice too much on-court talent in the process short term.
That´s it. I have absolutely no interest in any 30+ player, unless he´s a star that elevates us into title contention. Call it the DeRozan line. Though I could get on board with DeMar depending on the price tag for his extension. He´d also provide some much needed veteran leadership.
that is fair and I wouldn't disagree too much. I am not talking about giving up any of our assets but just something that could be a slight improvement, but I understand your thoughts above. We lack expirings, so this would make any deal more difficult.
In a different world we are sitting here and maybe Grant Williams is not a championship team starter but is a productive, important role player, Omax has been given small doses of minutes and has shown potential, Jaden had made a step and while his rest of the game is work in progress he is scoring the ball when given the opp. Exum has been healthy and is playing 20-25 minutes of ball blending in with stars. Kyrie has played in 75% of the games. If most of the above happened, we would be in a much better place. Even if the record was only a few games better. Because they haven't happened, it feels like we are in danger of a panic trade.
