Yeah based on all that trade drama last offseason and everything we’ve learned since then, Jovic and Jaquez are here for the long haul. Both will be ready to be high level role players next season.

Assuming you don't want to "run it back," what moves can we make to improve if we keep our most valuable assets??

Tyler or god forbid Butler ain't bringing back much.

Herro, picks, and filler as part of a sign and trade if Spida chooses to sign here?

Potential 6 Man Rotation: PG: Spida (I trust his chemistry with Bam) SG: Duncan (if not included in the trade) SF: Jimmy PF: Jovic C: Bam 6th Man: Terry/Duncan

With more steps from Bam offensively and growth from Jovic and JJJ I think that's a very solid lineup.

It's literally a sign and trade. If Mitchell actually wants to come here, he'll be here. This isn't like Dame or the rest of the regular traded players.

I remember when we were so fucked before we got Jimmy Butler for Josh Richardson and Hassan Whiteside.

Mitchell isn’t a free agent this year
