I think some parity would be a good thing for the league.

It could be. There are a lot of moving parts… they may not like the parity when there is an Utah Indiana finals match.

Overall I think it would fun to have more continuity on rosters if markets are able to keep some of their own stars… don’t love when the teams get stacked and there are only a few teams that matter.

I think 7-8 unprotected first round picks would be enough… if he was available. Maybe it takes more thought if it’s just picks. I would be pretty hesitant to make any of the superstar trades tbh. They generally don’t get moved unless they have 2 years or less left on their deals. It’s a lot of draft capital/risk on a short window. I think the master plan is to find a deal that takes like 3-4 picks at some point… if the Cavs or wolves start to suck or lose key pieces those picks start to get mighty juicey and you might get a bump up in value there.

Thats the thing though. Luka has 4 years left at a pretty reasonable price too.

They won’t trade him for at least another year… likely two years… that’s just how these things work.

I mean, I would trade Lauri for Giannis, but that might be about it.

That’s. It?? What about Tatum, Jokic, Embiid, Curry. That might be it for me.

I thought a few posts back you said to do whatever it takes to get Luka.
I agree though, I don't do whatever it takes if it takes Lauri.

As a rule of thumb, you don’t trade your star for even a bigger star. You are usually trading for a star to add to what you got. You can’t do that if your losing the best player on the squad.

Ya, kinda mirrors what I have been saying..... Luka aint getting moved. This whole "the jazz are monitoring the luka situation" thing is a nothing burger.

Exactly. You dont do whatever it takes to get luka. You do what makes sense for your own team to get Luka.
 
Miami's cap crunch likely means that in addition to needing to offload one of Lowry or Robinson they will not bring back Strus or Vincent. Gabe wouldn't be a bad backup plan at pg if we didn't draft or get a better option. Just kind of a solid backup pg type that is good enough to keep the ship afloat if he has to start. Maybe at 7M-ish a year for a couple/few years. Strus may not be a bad get either but I could see him getting close to the MLE type money. I think both guys could have value in a trade if you wanted to flip them later.

Another trade option with Miami would be to send 28 out for 18 and absorb Oladipo's deal (assuming there is someone we like at 18 that won't be there at 28). I think Vic likely sits out the year and is owed 9.5M.
 
Strus and Vincent are good players....but buyer beware on Heat players. Spo is the best in the league at making these fringe guys look good. Maybe Will Hardy has shown he has that magic too.
