If we could get the T$unami Papi for around $8-10m @ year..

oh boi

I like this fit way better than Markkanen.. seems like we have a bit of a logjam at the stretch 4/5 role with PJ, Kai, McD, Thor, Richards and Vernon Jr..
Markkanen might fit that role better than any of them but with the lack of depth behind Hayward and Miles on the wing - Oubre would be a great get.. just depends on price..

2 years 26 mil so yeah 13 mil a year. Gotta think there’s some kind of trade coming soon. Maybe a sign and trade for Lauri.

Who would they trade??

Right now I would have thought that Lamelo, Miles and PJ are untouchable.. But now other the Melo I don't know who is safe...

I’m in the same boat as you. I was hoping that if we did trade it would be either Hayward or Terry to dump the big contracts and roll with our younger players. But it just doesn’t make sense in this scenario. Something tells me PJ is going to be apart of the trade for Lauri if it happens..hope I’m wrong though.

LOVE it.  He struggled shooting out of the gate last year but he is going to be instant offense off of the bench. 

Its setting up nicely to be Ball, Rozier, Hayward,  Washington,  Plumlee with Smith, Bouknight, Oubre, Bridges, and one of our bigs in Jones, Carey, Richards as the backup.  Martin twins, Thor, Lewis as well.

Good young team that will compete and you throw in Markennen(sp?) and we will be a very good team.

Oubre signing is official.

Updated Roster

PG - LaMelo Ball

SG - Terry Rozier, James Bouknight, Cody Martin, Scottie Lewis (TW)

SF - Gordon Hayward, Kelly Oubre, Jalen McDaniels, Wesley Iwundu

PF - Miles Bridges, P.J. Washington, JT Thor, Arnoldas Kulboka (TW)

C - Mason Plumlee, Kai Jones, Vernon Carey, Nick Richards

Someone is going to have to be cut for Ish Smith. More than likely Cody Martin’s non-guaranteed contract.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
