I would doubt he's even available? The young guys should be who they build around moving forward.

It is Lavine and Vuc who need to move.

After that?

Anyone should be available for the right price. Don’t see anyone on the roster who is an essential building block.

They needed to get rid of guys so they could bottom out this year. Missed opportunity.

Cavs don’t have the assets. Thunder would have to give up one of their young players. It doesn’t make sense with how Joe is playing.

Cavs better versions? Other than Wade, the Cavs have a lot of shooting guards, undersized wings that can defend and shoot. Wade is the only true wing or 4.

I wonder if the Lakers would get involved if the cost drops to one 1st (or one 1st and seconds)? With Gafford being shopped, Lakers could flip DFS to the Mavs, opening up that role for Cam. Only of course if the Lakers prefer Cam to DFS, which they may not given the draft capital necessary?

Just thinking out loud. Probably makes more sense to just get a backup center elsewhere.

Of their bigs though, he would be the one to keep IMO.

You have very poor judgment and your opinion is worthless.

I won’t argue with you on that.

Just think they are so far away from being good again that it doesn’t matter.

Betting nobody on their current roster going to be there by the time they get it turned around.

Sure, but I would project that young core of Williams, White, Giddey and Buzelis is going nowhere, and maybe Ayo and Terry too. Guys they would prefer to keep barring generous offers.

Think Okoro is really undervalued for us here. Would it be better if he was an inch or so taller? Sure. But he has the NBA body/strength needed to be a wing. Better he be an inch taller but a weak rail?

Having said that.....needs to come out of the slump he was in shooting after returning from injury last time.

Would like to see Buzelis get more minutes.

Giddey could develop I guess, but right now he seems like a good stats bad team kind of guy.

Why OKC was so willing to move on from him.

He just didn’t fit with this bunch, if you can’t defend at a high level that’s how it’s going to be. Chicago isn’t using him like I thought they would though, getting Caruso was a no brainer though.
