You'd need to be able to trade either Nurk or Nas/Keon/Hart for someone like Randle, Siakam, or Simmons using picks and cap space in a lop-sided trade. Obviously, you'd want to keep Nurk and Little if you could. We are gonna have to get lucky that out of our stable of SF sized guys Nas/Keon/Hart one of them develops into a good defender who can hit the 3 and who is healthy enough to stay on the floor (I'm looking at you Little). We need a PF who can defend at an elite level and for one of our myriad undersized SF's to show the fuck out.
I'm extremely concerned at this point that we can get it done. I still contend that IF that trade for CJ + 3 picks and 3 swaps for Simmons was actually real then that was most definitely the trade to make. Our CJ "haul" was at best mediocre (how the FUCK did we not get 2 1st round picks or Herb Jones for CJ PLUS Nance?!?!?!)
We need to see a really homerun play here by Cronin and I'm thinking the only real possibility is Randle. I dunno if we could swing Nurk plus one of the young SF's I mentioned plus a pick for Jaylen Brown maybe? Then somehow ALSO get Randle? Fuck man I dunno, it doesn't look good anymore the cupboard is crazy bare. Worse, at this point, we kinda HAVE to assume Ant is going to be a star, or else we fucked up big time. So, therefore, trading Ant for anything short of Giannis-level talent would be a mistake because then we are back down to 2 players and a bare cupboard. MAYBE we could rebuild from that point somehow, but I dunno.
