You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

Well... okay... He hasn't been good when he is healthy. He's had some good 5-10 game stints but still nothing to get super excited about. They may not be looking to trade him but they sure as hell better not hesitate to move him if a deal comes along.

Unfortunately, I’m getting the impression that they view this a lot like downloading an MP3 on 56k.... you’ve spent three hours and you’re at 92%. If you interrupt the download now, you’ve lost all the progress on the 92%. They at least want to wait for the other 8% to find out they don’t even like the song.
 
It does sound from TJ like we are going to have a legit shot at Tobias... If my DL calculus is on point we will have a really narrow focus and go only after him... and if we fail we get some short term flexibility 1+1 type stuff and the return of Favors.

... I hate this narrow focus garbage. See Conley and this deadline.

To me it is a bad but intriguing real estate deal... it starts to look like it is going somewhere and you may even get a couple solid offers to be done with it, but you can't cut ties because of upside... so you keep feeding it for the big pay day... hopefully we don't end up in bankruptcy.

This worked well two summers ago. Hayward? Nope. Porter Jr.? Nope. One or two others I’m forgetting. Plan A to B to C...

See many of our drafts... "we have a few guys we like and they were gone so we sold our seconds"

DL also locks in on guys a little early... its great to have targets... but as guys slide down the draft board its okay to deviate. Moving up to get Bradley may be the weirdest move of his tenure... it made no sense at the time and I said as much... it makes less sense now. Andy Larsens had some not very encouraging things to say about Bradley... sounds like he isn't good and may not be the most self aware kid. In 4-5 years we might have a good backup center there.

that was okay because there was one domino we had to wait on and scrambling for decent pieces at that point was acceptable. The bar was also lower then... but here is the deal... we got 2 years of Thabo and Udoh, one year of Jonas, we had 12-13M in space... maybe we could have done better and got long term pieces... so I wouldn't call it a home run.

You’re opening wounds. I almost forgot about these, but it’s been consistent. May be a bit too rigid.

There is a clear pattern... I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm worried we put our eggs in one basket then when that doesn't happen we just don't like the other stuff out there and punt.

You have to churn a little and take a few chances to find the diamonds.
 
Exum will be solid for our team if he can stay healthy. There are reasons to doubt he will be healthy though.

But he isnt worth much in a trade. He could get healthy and be good for us and worth a lot in a trade. There is no reason to dump him or trade him right now. Unless it nets us a good player.
 
I have never seen something like Lindsey's feverish obsession with making anything out of Dante Exum. It puts into perspective what a massive waste of time all of our discussion is.

One day I will be liberated from the hell of fandom and Lindsey is doing his best right now.
