Raps should go all-in on this season and get Jrue Holiday, Sabonis and Giannis while keeping Scottie and BI.
Gradey, 1 FRP ➡️ Holiday
RJ, Agbaji, 1 FRP ➡️ Sabonis, Monk
IQ, Poeltl, CMB, 5 FRPs ➡️ Giannis
Holiday (Lowry 2.0, NBA champion)
Ingram (go-to scorer)
Scottie (DPOY candidate)
Giannis (DPOY, NBA champion)
Sabonis (Marc Gasol 2.0)
Bench:
Shead
Monk
Walter
Mamu
Stay the course, grab a big man on the cheap and see how this core plays in high leverage moments.
Sabonis is a fit for the Raps for his effectiveness against the zone defense which the Raps struggle against.
He has a high basketball IQ, and elite playmaking and passing skills from the high post.
Also, his rebounding is elite.
As the saying goes, “Board man gets paid.”
We're finally hitting our stride after years of building the right way. Don't throw that all away for 1 player.
Nah if we can get giannis for quickley RJ and gradey and a few picks then yea do that ASAP
