Trae and OO from Atlanta would be enough

Kind of feels like our best option will just be running it back

if we trade for Trae we arent making it out the first round

would literally be food for a lot of these playoff teams

It definitely is but I think Brons trying to pressure them into getting Kyrie

I actually would like Kyrie too but the recent reports sound like the Mavs don’t want to help us get him.

hope an offseason together with the newer players takes us a step forward

and AD and Bron giving us at least 35% from 3 next year 🫢

I think we're forgetting that AD's skill set is basically irreplaceable, only Giannis or Joel provide similar offensive & defensive value, but AD is a better defender than both.

That's why I was always against the hypothetical KD for AD trades mentioned earlier in the season, KD brings better shooting & passing but that's all

Real

Atlanta's not giving up Trae, especially for AD

A trade for Trae is a trade for the future

this AD for Trae Young talk needs to stop

Didnt even know this was a thing

If we trade ad itll only be for someone like embiid jokic or luka.

a Trae led team is not even close to competing with Jokic, Murray, and MPJ as long as theyre together lol. they would literally hunt him on switches to death

short, crazy defensively liability, questions about if he’s coachable

"The Indiana Pacers, who hold three picks in the first round of the draft, are reportedly looking at trading up. Indiana is looking into packaging the #7, #26 and #29 picks together to move up in the first round."

A possible deal that's been floating around is Malik Beasley + 17th pick for Buddy Hield + 26th pick

How yall feel about that?

I’d do it

Hell f***ing yes.

Hield would just forget how to shoot with us too

The Laker shooting curse lives on

I think we run it back with the same roster

Keep: Rui, Reaves, Lonnie, Dennis, Mo, Vandy

Obviously keep Lebron, AD

If they take minimum bring back: Brown, Gabriel , Thompson

Develop Max

Only thing I would add- Try to flip DLO for a center or or Kyrie…. I think DLO is not a title player. He don’t play defense. Remember ham was saying he didn’t want to get bench. On a contender, you need to do whatever

Hit on that 17 pick. Maybe add a ring chaser or two . Run it back

Beasley gone too

Why would the Pacers do this? They would get a worse player and a draft pick they don’t want to use. Kevin Pritchard has already stated they don’t plan on using all their picks. They want to package them to get a Top 5 pick.

pacers won't do this. and if they do hield will be worse than beasley somehow

bron really went from mike miller ray allen korver jr to having no real shooters in his rosters smh

AD at that point in his career where he should make the call to Hakeem and work on his post game

The Lakers have interest in using D'Angelo Russell as part of a sign-and-trade deal for Fred VanVleet.

Via TheAthletic

Sixers also targeting VanVleet since Harden's future is up in the air

More likely that Sixers get him than Lakers doing a sign and trade.
