We need depth.

But setting aside our top 6, we don't really have the assets to get much. Conley's expiring. Dillingham. TSJ. Can we do a pick swap? Nobody is going to see Clark or Miller as anything other than filler. Probably the same for Rocco. It would be really tough to give up Beringer. Setting him aside, we're not going to get much at all with the rest of those guys.

Alternately, we could try to move one of our top 6 guys and get back a PG and another rotation guy. Here, the most logical option would be to try to trade Naz or Randle. They basically play the same position, and it would be better to spend that money on our weakest position right now. Ideally, Dillingham would've become that guy, and we wouldn't have to do this, but that isn't happening. It would really suck to lose either Naz or Randle, and I'm not totally in love with any of the possibilities out there. Both Naz and Randle have pretty good contracts, and you don't want to give that up for a guy who's probably overpaid.

Damn, we really needed one of the Clark, TSJ, or Dillingham triumvirate to pan out, especially after we let NAW go. The fact that ALL of them have basically failed to take a step forward is really killing us. Thank god we pulled Bones out of thin air. Still, if TC doesn't pull off some magic in the next week, we better cross our fingers that Clark, TSJ, or Dillingham step up in the second half, or that Bones and Beringer really solidify their roles as the 7th and 8th guys in the rotation, but that feels like it's asking a lot.

Jaden to Portland for the Bucks picks, Julius and salary to Milwaukee with those picks and Giannis to Minny.

This is one of the better contracts in the league. Jaden is literally right there with Ant for my favorite wolf and the thought of losing him pains me.

I dont like the combo of Gobert and Giannis. Could make it work but damn we are trying for a championship. I think the deal should be a 3 way with Gobert going somewhere that can send the Bucks picks and maybe some young guys they like. We also can give them Randle. Randle is the exact same age as Giannis but 20 million less and soon to be 30 million less per year. They have a guy that can help them build back up for half the cost. They get some picks and young guys. Throw them Rob. Lenny.
