To be fair, Minny package is centered around Rudy who is also out of his prime. They wanna keep Reid and probably have to pay him at least low end starter money so better make him a starter.
Wolves are the ones holding things up. That is the offer if KD is okay going there... that is the impression I get.
Nobody has left bigger deuces in the Player Empowerment Era than Harden and KD
That's a fair observation. It's a personal bias. I'm not a fan of pushing in all one's chips for ST gains that imperil LT viability, particularly for franchises with long traditions of losing. I'd rather watch year after year of good, competitive basketball that delivers value for one's entertainment money, even if it doesn't produce a title, than suffer through long and/or repeated cycles of losing punctuated by transitory relevance. Minnesota has 17 years of losing to pay back to its fan base. In my view, it needs to be thinking about how to repay this debt in a sustainable, LT manner rather than focusing on chasing ST, transitory glory. If they can do both, then all the better. I'm just skeptical they can, and if I were a fan, I'd be worrying that a hell-bent-for-leather quest to win a title (such as by chasing after washed out superstars) suggests a lack of focus on LT competitive sustainability.
Taking PG's contract in this economy? nah. They gotta add if they want that.
Would we do... 21 and one of our good future picks for 3 and PG? This way we get both 3 and 5?
Sub Sexton for Clarkson and add some stuff and I think its palatable... Have to believe in PG and likely targeting VJ?
You would have to believe in PG to some degree. I don't think he's completely washed. I still think something like this could push you a bit too far in the tank race and even if he rehabs his value I don't think you get an asset for him and that contract is hard to move.
Since Sexton is redundant for the Sixers, maybe get Dallas involved?
This.
