The irony was people saying we need to trade then getting on someone for saying this team is not good enough.

As I said I know what irony is you just unsurprisingly failed to detect it. However you got a coincidence out of that beats me. Playing stupid per usual.

Nah, that still isn't irony.

No but I'm saying that if you get an amazing starting lineup and have to pick up some undesirables to fill out your depth then that ain't necessarily a bad thing. Having great depth and team is everything is nice and that's one way to win. Another is to get 5 really really good players (more top end talent) and maybe not be as deep.

Both can work and both can fail but I'm ready to try another method. Obviously there best thing would be to have a ton of top end talent and depth but that's rare and you might never get there

I get it and understand what you’re saying......but....

1) we aren’t the Warriors, Rockets, Boston, Lakers etc so we aren’t ever going to be the darlings of the buyout market

2) Let’s say the exact scenario we are talking about (Conley/Mirotic) plays out with the assets discussed traded by Feb 7th. We would literally have no one that could play the hugely important 13+ mins day 1 at the 5.

We can’t afford to give games away while some league minimum dude gets up to speed.

Go get a Kaminsky or Vonleh? Sure but we’ve also traded a lot of seconds lately along with our expirings. Anyone better is gonna need a first in return and in this scenario we couldn’t give another first for 5 years.

GM’ing is hard.

Agree about it being hard. And I agree with much if what you say. I'm ready for something new, even with the risk that it will work out for the worst.

This. We've been mediocre+ for too long. I really want them to go for broke, whatever that means, even if it means we fail. I'll settle for a crappy few years if it means the front office is actually trying to make bold moves and take risks. Boston is a decent example. Ainge gutted the team to bring in aging stars, who then won the chip. They sucked for a while after and have had a pretty good rebuild. Yeah we aren't the draw Boston is but why can't our FO ever try to get out there and throw caution to the wind and take a shot at being more than a possible 4th seed.

You think we have measurably more top-end talent if we swap Rubio and Favors for Conley and Mirotic?? Lol. So much more talent that we should send two first-rounders and therefore damage our ability to get quality depth? Lol

Can we not.

I agree. We shouldn’t invent or advocate for dumb ideas. Thankfully, though, there are people around to apply shame if that does happen.

What are you going to do when we send Rubio, Favors and two firsts for Conley? I can’t even imagine.
 
NAOS said:
It’s literally our best weapon when it comes to adding talent.

I like trades, but maybe DL has been too liberal when it comes to sending out firsts. Regardless, sending one for Mirotic would be dumb af.

Wait...what? Has DL ever traded a first?
