Make Our Own "Big 3" Now

Would you consider 2009 Nuggets contender? 2013 Memphis? 2015 Atlanta? What about 2019 Portland? Those are the teams that made it to the conference final and I doubt people remember them as contenders.

And we couldn't even make it as far as those teams

Injuries play a huge role in all of this. The West is also a lot more competitive now than it was in previous years.
 
I'm on board for chasing someone who's a potential difference maker and I think all three of these guys could be. Simmons is probably a difference maker if he is mentally okay and fits in. Collins is a difference maker and is still improving. Grant brings something we dont have and probably improves us. There might be some others that pop up. But I dont think we can get any of these three. 76ers wont take Collins and 3 picks for Simmons, we cant even come close to beating that offer. Atlanta wants a starter and a good first round pick, we dont have that and cant make that offer. Grant is the most likely but I think we can easily get outbid.

I haven't seen the "good" qualifier for the pick. I guess I'll have to dig up the original article. But also: what precisely does that mean?

Something to keep in mind is that whenever one of Grant/Barnes/Collins/Wood/Tobias dudes gets traded, that's one less suitor for the rest. We certainly don't have the most assets in the league, but if it gets down the list a ways or the Jazz just get some eye-of-the-beholder luck, I think it could happen.

I agree it could happen and assets will get burned for some we cant get leaving others open. Although a lot of these teams dont need to trade these guys now and probably will wait for the offseason if no good trades pop up.

I dont know what a good pick means for sure, but to me that means at least lottery.

edit: I just looked up the wording and the report says valuable first round pick. I still think that means at least lottery, but I could be wrong. If its not lottery why put any wording on it.

Its going to be sad funny when something like Grant for Collins happens. Two players we might want swapped for each other.
 
If we could get two of Covington, Smart, Barnes and Grant and retain Mike, Don and Rudy, I guess that would be sweet af.

Or maybe even one and a guy like Rondo idk.
