Detroit I think will crumble and I'm not sure Indiana and Boston will regain previous highs. Same with Cleveland I feel is trending in the wrong direction. My early take is NYK and then 76ers.
I agree. Hopefully Brooks can dial back on his scoring. As mentioned, he had to be aggressive at times last year without Booker and Green. I think Booker and Green should be 20+ and then Bridges and Brooks in high teens.
Just thinking from a used car perspective. Booker will give us a hefty return now. After a couple of years we won't get much. OKC is doing it this way and it works well for them. Do they have a destination issue? Say we get someone like Eason (the best brother) and a high draft pick, we can...
When Boober goes downhill we will regret not having our own draft picks. Very true what Raindog says. I support flipping him [Booker, not Raindog] for a mix of unprotected (gasp) first round picks and an actual quality player like a Kevin Johnson.
Poor Bronny. Hope he earns some playing time and has a nice season.
Silly King Flop if it's true that he will live in NYC and helicopter to Philadelphia. Is it not posh enough in Philly for him or his wife? Boo!
Going from CP3, Booker, Bridges, whoever, Ayton to Booker, Durant, Beal, and to the present roster while trading away almost all our future assets. Ish should play manager mode in NBA video games before doing it in real life.
I'm not 100% here because they're still trading away future lottery balls for players that are underwhelming (when it comes to wins). Seems like more of the same. But the drafting seems better. And as mentioned, they addressed an obvious weakness. I'm optimistic. Life is too short.
Without Booker (or old man Devin) how good are we in 2033? I think we'll regret doing that ish trade. Allright, Durant gamble failed. Chalk that up as a rookie mistake for a new nitwit owner. Keep trading away future first round picks when you're NOT EVEN CLOSE to winning a championship. I don't...
Claude is not following the news.

Updated outlook:
2027: No own pick (to Houston); incoming pick still held (worst of Cleveland/Minnesota/Utah)
2028: Own pick, Brooklyn/Washington can swap
2029: No own pick (to Houston); but now hold an incoming first — worst of...
How many first round picks have we traded away? I need to check with Claude.
