Seriously Haliburton is EXACTLY the player we need at the helm. If we can somehow pull off a good draft pick this year, or otherwise add that long defensive wing we have needed for years, I would then be all on board to throw the bulk of our remaining assets at acquiring Haliburton. I know they will never let him go without a package like what we got for Gobert and Mitchell, but man would that ever take care of everything we need. Then it would be just filling in the blank spots.
Imagine something like:
Haliburton
JC (if we can keep him, otherwise, if he needs to be used to get Haliburton then pencil in some other SG here, almost doesn't matter - new draft pickup, or signing a mid-range vet that is a decent 3&D or alternate playmaker)
New Wing (idk the draft well enough, but hell consider one of the Thompsons, or in the ultimate pipe dream, Wemby)
Lauri
Kessler
Day-um. Rack up the rings. Fun to dream, innit?
