It depends. The picks you get in trade may not net you a players as good as him… but the rebuild process should. We kinda need to rebuild… that said…The chances you get a dude as good as him with any of those picks is low and he’s exactly what you’re looking for in a rebuild, to pair with the draft capital we got from Rudy and (in this scenario) cap flexibility we would get from being off 2 max contracts.
If you wouldn’t do that deal why even GM at that point.
My answer is “yes….in a heartbeat” and so would every other GM now and in the future.
I’d do the deal in part because Ball isn’t quite good enough as a winning player to get you to the playoffs… and if he does become that now with this roster then you are really on to something. I think you could tank and he’s younger than Don so you could retool around his timeline easier. If he isn’t happy you move him later for a picks type package.
