Welcome to the daily discussion thread! You can use this space to discuss little things that don’t need their own post. This is also the perfect space for pictures, videos, and links that would otherwise go against the sub’s rules. Just don’t be jerks and don’t break any Reddit-wide rules. Have at it.
I’ve been looking at our draft assets recently and although I think our rotation is good, I just feel like Brad will definitely make a trade because the man always maximizes the roster any way he can, he hasn’t gone a deadline without a trade, he’s the anti-Ainge. The TPE will expire after this year, and this is also the last year they can aggregate salaries in a trade while in the second apron, I just don’t think Brad will let all those opportunities go by.
We also have some sneaky good 2nds that are not only assets but make some of our firsts more expendable.
Our picks:
First rounds picks: 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 (Spurs Swap), 2030
*****only 2 of these picks are tradeable due to Stepien Rule, you need to have 1 pick every other year.
Second round picks:
So overall we have 2 tradeable firsts between 24-27, and in 3 of those years we have potentially high second round picks with Bulls, Pistons/Wizards, and Blazers. So assuming we are contenders for all those years, our own first round draft pick might not be too far off from those picks.
Idk what the trade is, whether it’s Caruso or some under the radar trade, but I don’t think Brad will just sit still with all these assets and this last window of opportunity in the second apron.
