LOL. I have lost my source. I'll give the loose details over PM if you're curious.

Given the growing consensus of Ace being "risky" and teams preferring VJ, I'm not sure I (personally) see a ton of value in moving up to the #3. Certainly not at the expense of 1) taking on Paul George or 2) giving up Lauri. I'd just about give up the house to move up to #2. But if VJ goes 3 or...

No option for "shrug" and pour myself a bourbon?

This Bane return has me seriously puzzled. It’s a mind *****. If he’s worth FOUR FRPs in today’s trade market we should at minimum be heavily exploring trade offers for Kessler, Lauri, and/or both.

If everyone in the West is in “win now” mode, it kinda seems like we sell into that.

My only gripes on Fears is he's a tick small and the shooting will have to improve. He's a damn nice player, though. I've got him at #5 on my board and would love to have him if Ace / Tre go 3-4 in some order.

Brave man.

Carter Bryant as a green room guy cracks me up. I get him as a late 1st w/ the measurables, athleticism, great interviews etc. but my lord. Dude played 19mpg and averaged 6 points. And we’re not talking Corey Maggette / ‘99 Duke team here. He was the 6th man on a pretty “meh” AZ team.

This is the way.

And those FINGERPADS

I hear that but you're going to hamstring your ability to win a title with this nucleus just to get below 2nd apron? I think they're looking for a solution that gets them below that threshold but still keeps them more competitive than the pile of ******* we could send them in return.

Don't think we get Jrue Holiday for that stash. Celtics still in "win-now" mode and Jrue is a huge piece of that. IMO they'd need more and would probably want a better "win now" piece than we can offer (in lieu of future draft picks).

100%. IMO, if we don't move up and Tre / Ace are gone at #5, it may be far and away the best option.

Ace / Tre are in their own tier above anyone else, IMO. I could envision us drafting Fears over VJ.

I've heard #2 pick trade talks have focused in on YoungJefe's left nut so this is great to hear.
