Could you / would you parlay Westbrook?

I hope not cuz I just can't stand the guy but the price would be Simmons/DFS and two of the unprotected picks they now own... or they can eff off.

I've already explained this... Monty talks to Mike... Mike talks to me... and I talk to Monty.... and this is one of our burner accounts... it is triple sourced.

You make some wild assumptions... there are lots of FA and lots of other ways to use cap space.

I suppose you could make a trade into cap space. I'm not going to pretend that there's a bunch of FA we can/will get. I've looked at the list, those two are the most attractive and reasonable gettable targets. If it takes significant draft compensation to use up our space next year I think it is a mistake. I do not high high hopes for the cap space so getting reasonable compensation now would be good business IMO.
 
I sneakily kinda like the Suns '23 pick, they've had some injury issues and the West is tight, and they just dealt the only guy who'd been holding it down for them.

There are many guys we could sign or work sign and trades for with our space. It doesn't have to be limited to two guys or just taking salary dumps.

Name them. I've looked at the list, have you? I hope you know that when I listed those two guys, they were not literally the only two possibilities I had thought of. We can't just put an ultimatum out there that we can't ruin our cap space without considering what we could actually do with the cap space. There are only a handful of guys where you can say it's reasonable that we could convince them to sign here, and I would also value the contract we'd give them more than a first round pick. Yeah we would hope that we land someone like Grant Williams or Thybulle in a S&T....but the chance at getting that is not some crazy opportunity.

If you want to say that the cap space is super important, tell us what the plan is and why it's actually realistic to get done.

I've looked at the list too... Grant Williams, Cam Johnson, Naz Reid, Jalen McDaniels, PJ Washington, Kuzma, Hart, Grant, Strus... those are off the top of the dome. You can also make uneven trades for good players... its just weird to say "unless we sign one of these two guys or take salary dumps the cap space is wasted".

The price would be Simmons and Seth Curry or Patty Mills with no draft pick compensation. Please make it happen. We are the perfect team for Simmons to get his game back with. No expectations so he can work through his mental block.
