Of course there's more to it. But the guys I mentioned are obtainable for us in trade. The guys I mentioned were Paul George, Jimmy Butler and Brook Lopez. Paul George is going to get traded, I think everyone agrees there. The Pacers have to get something in return for him before he leaves them in free agency. It's been reported recently that sources have said that Jimmy Butler won't be back in Chicago next year. The Nets were shopping Brook Lopez for two first rounders at the deadline. We can trade for one of these guys. We have the assets to make it happen. I'm not dreaming about getting Lebron, Kawhi or Anthony Davis like your snarky comment suggested. I'm just saying we should try to trade for one of these stars who are actually on the block and make a big push for a championship. If none of these trades work out I think we should be patient for a trade that does. Re-signing George Hill at 25-30 million sets us on a finite path with no wiggle room and no options. If he can't stay healthy or regresses you aren't trading that contract. It's probably not even tradeable if he's healthy. It's a noose around the teams neck.
