Yeah, there's no way in hell I'd trade anyone on our team other than picks.. and if we absolutely had to. Then Myles, but that sucks too. Cam Johnson isn't better than Mathurin even now. I don't even like him over Nesmith as a fit, or Obi. So, other than a couple picks. I'm not doing it. Plus I'd want Day'Ron Sharpe. If they took Myles Turner. We'd need to flip him to a team like the Lakers. Because Nets don't need Turner. You maybe give them a 2028 Top 10 protected. Get a Lakers 2029 1st for Turner. Then you could afford to throw out another protected 1st in 29'.. but as far as them asking for our young #6 and #7 picks in the draft.. they must be smacked out of their minds. I'd scoff at that bs.
What's funny is how many time's it seamed feasible to move Myles. However now, even though he's playing the exact same way. He's suddenly more valuable than he ever was. Simply because of our team style and need to keep it that way. While there isn't any other defensive stretch bigs out there. Who are also a quick knockdown shooter. I'm not surprised at all by the number he asked. I figured he'd want close to what Hartenstein got. I definitely wouldn't go any higher. If you could start off less in the first year's. Even 27 to 28 would be reasonable without trying to insult him. Only because we want to keep this team together. By the time Pascal's contract ages a bit. Myles goes up, you can begin to later figure out who you want to move. My biggest focus would be to resign Ben Mathurin for sure. But I'd like to see Myles stay.
I'd still be down to throw 3 2nds at Day'Ron Sharpe right now.
What I can't begin to understand. Is why they haven't went after Day'Ron Sharpe already. Yeah, we have Bryant.. So what, we need Day'Ron even more. 🙇 Why not go get him.. The obvious best, smart move out there.. BTW I'm the guy that wanted them to draft Jaylen Wells, GG Jackson, Keshad Johnson and Jamal Shead this year. As well as other good draft players and FA signings in the past. I think I know good talent when I see it. I'll also be pissed if they botch this year's draft. If it were me. I'd try to get another mid to late 1st. Or two earlier 2nds. A lot of solid guy's in those ranges.
Fleming, Miles Byrd, Danny Wolf, Thiero, Ian Jackson, Nique Clifford, Kam Jones, Joson Sanon, Jase Richardson, Boogie Fland, Dink Pate, Drake Powell, Isaiah Evans, Jamir Watkins, Jevon Small, Walter Clayton Jr., Carter Bryant, Saint Thomas, Tyrese Proctor, Donnie Freeman, Koby Brea, Maxime Raynaud, MacKenzie Mgbako, Tomislav Ivisic, Taylor Bol Bowen, Eric Dixon, Tahaad Pettiford, Bogoljub Marković. All of my favorite projected possible 20-30's and up.
