Luke definitely is going to want Fultz or Ball for the type of offense he is trying to run. His stint at Golden State definitely impacted him a ton.

If we don't wind up trading the Houston pick (which I doubt), but if somehow we don't who yall want with that pick?

Does Luke have a say though? It seems like Jeanie and magic wants showtime back

Excited for our Young Core. Hopefully there are no panic moves and we get to see Ingram, Russell, Zu and 2 blossom as a unit together.

I still have faith in Randle and Clarkson but this is a show me summer and first 3 months of the season. Who knows if they even get that much time. Would have to imagine they would be the starting point for any trade discussions.

Future is looking bright. Just hope Boston doesn't dangle that number one to someone desperate for Ball. Fultz being a consolation prize would not be bad but there is ALOT of redundancy with Fultz, DLo and Clarkson. They are all lesser versions of each other.

Ball/Fultz
Russell
Ingram
Randle (and then George in a year)
Zubac

We really just need to ride this next season out, let these young guys develop that experience. It makes absolutely no sense to trade away Russell when he's still under his rookie deal unless it's for someone really good that helps immediately. And if you're Paul George, why would you want to make the team trade away key assets like New York did for Melo? The Lake Show would have three number two picks under rookie contracts and some years of experience under their belt. He can be the big free agent splash next year to go along with maybe another big man, and the team would be much better than what Indiana has, along with the fact that he wants to go back home.

It feels like we have to ride it out until at least the trade deadline with Russell and maybe Randle. We also don't have to rush in to attaching Clarkson or whoever to get rid of Mozgov or Deng because there aren't a lot of max free agency targets.

we should try to package Randle and the Houston pick for a higher pick in the teens and draft a big that can defend and make jumpers like that Auzzie breh
