Curious what people think.

Would you see what kind of star you could get for Scoot/Sharpe/all the picks?

Dame
Jrue
Tou
Deni
Clingan

What stars could be out there? Would be kind of hilarious if we traded for LeBron (not for that package)
 
Stars who could maybe be available:

Jaylen Brown
Devin Booker
Bam
Embiid
LeBron
Sabonis
Zion
AD?
 
I think we need to see how these players perform.

1. Unclear if Jrue/Grant can get back to their 2023 production.

2. Unclear what improvements are young Scoot/Sharpe backcourt make.

Then of course #3 no idea what Dame will look like when he returns. Hope would be a Durant level recovery. My suspicion is it's more like a washed up Kobe.

We need at least 1 of the 3 above answered before making a move. Might be best to get 2 or all 3 answered.
 
No, i don't think he will be a star anymore when he comes back and so not a good idea to build around him,

I'm not saying build around Dame.

I'm saying do you move the young guys and go for it with Dame/Jrue/Tou/Deni/Clingan/Grant/etc

How good is this team if you add another star?

Dame and Jrue doesn't sound like a playoff backcourt. Have two 36 year old starting guards ever won a series? Actually have they ever even won a playoff game?

I don't think Jrue starts.

Dame
Tou
Deni
Grant
Clingan

Or what if you could go get someone like Brown?

Dame/Jrue
Brown/Thybulle
Tou/Murray
Deni/??
Clingan/Yang

Is that a championship team?

I read through your post too fast, I was thinking you wanted to trade one of those guys. Yes, 26-27 if he proves fully healthy by then, why not go for it all?

Maybe pre-injury Dame but I don't see how he comes back at that level. I hope Scoot, Shae, Tou and Deni make this really simple and we stick with them as our core. Trade Jrue at the deadline once he's shown that he can stay healthy, trade Jerami at the deadline after he shows that he can make shots again. Let Dame come off the bench when he first gets back and play it by ear from there. That's my ideal situation.

If Scoot and Shaedon haven't made the jump necessary to start on a team attempting to make the playoffs when training camp rolls around then maybe... maybe we go all in on trying to win it all right now at or before the trade deadline.

I'm assuming if we do go all in and try to win it all right now that it will be short lived and come up markedly short of the goal.
 
If a star is available, sure. But, I think the game plan is one more play in type year, then hoping Dame and Jrue still can be strong contributors the year after next when Dame should be healed.
