    What trade chip do you want to hold onto the most? You can make 2 choices in case it's a virtual tie...

    I might put #4 in that first category but not going to argue with this list.

    I think a consideration could also be if the star you're getting is a 2 guard, do you regulate Jalen to backup or is he part of the package?

    Same would go for Sengun. I wouldn't do it, but say KAT is coming here. Outside the obvious point KAT can play outside on offense, the 2 don't fit on defense.

    I think it's more likely a scoring guard or forward than center.

    I also see some redundancy in KPJ and Jalen I think KPJ is more developed but Green higher potential. You could trade either and the other play the 2. I don't see such replacement for Sengun or Jabari.

    I'm more inclined to deal KPJ to save cap space...

    Jabari is probably the only untouchable player on this squad

    Our 2029 2nd for sure, that draft is rumored to be crazy deep

    He's valuable, not untouchable. He needs a setup man and increased mental strength. Udoka and a shooting coach plus a sports psychologist can help him and everyone else.

    The only reason why people are so high on Green and Bari....they do not have

    Wemby, Cade, Mobley, Banchero......everyone is touchable, but those are the markets' faves.

    trade Jalen, Jabari and Sengun for the #1 pick. We need to rebuild the rebuild! tank for the next decade!

    For the next draft, this draft is as good as gone.

    Build and use the Practice facility already....

    Given his insane defensive ability and improved offensive output as season went on he is the only untouchable compared to everyone else on the roster. His upside is the highest

    #4 has the uncertainty of having Anthony Bennet level bad player. With Green and Bari you know there is a floor that isn't "bust".


    Sengun is a hard one for me not to put in the same category as Green and Jabari.

    The person with the highest ceiling on this team can't have the 4th highest potential as a primary scorer behind three other players on his own team. I think even KPj has a higher offensive ceiling.

    Too hard to choose. Gun to my head, forced to pick one and only one right now? Probably the #4 pick. This draft class has much more superstar potential in the top half of the lottery than the past two drafts, so I actually think it might offer our best chance of getting a franchise player to lead us to long-term success. Risky to bet on it though, so it's a hard decision.

    We also shouldn't trade Green/Smith/Sengun though, unless we're getting a young superstar back, and we shouldn't trade Tari unless we're getting a high-end, starting-caliber roleplayer who fits our timeline (or equivalent value).

    While I really like many of our players, I am sad to report that none of them have the potential to lead a championship-caliber team to a title. I value several of them highly, but none are untouchable. We must consider all options in our pursuit of a title.

    Any player can go imo for the right price. Doesn’t matter to me, just get Sengun outta here if Ime can’t help him learn how to defend
