It’s ridiculous. He’s the best or at worst 2nd best player in the world.
I wouldn't put him above Kawhi or Giannis
Giannis I understand. Kawhi I don’t.
I would take both also. KD is a choker. It worked for him on a all star team. Whatever team he goew to wont win a damn thing with him unless he's surrounded by other stars.

I would trade it for.. Giannis and Embid. We really need the rookie salary going forward, but Giannis and Embid are too good and young to pass up. Over 30 with max or super max deals, or 1 year deal type players don't interest me. :beer:

No way do I risk the #1 on Embiid's health.


Giannis, sure. Absolutely.

Since Ja is not an option to trade for, here are some guys I would consider with the idea that they take back a bad contract in some cases.

1. Jaren Jackson - here is your athletic 4
2. Deangelo Russell - Kat's buddy, and your starting PG
3. Beal
4. Jayson Tatum
5. Marvin Bagley
6. Jokic
7. Simmons
8. De'Aaron Fox
