Yep , picking mine up tomorrow . <| sep |> Not everything I nominated was VR , but there were a few VR titles I did nomnomnom . <| sep |> I ' m personally of the mind they are one impact player away from being able to go toe to toe with the Cavs , not two . I also believe Danny ' s # 1 plan since landing Horford in FA has been to retain the 17 Net ' s till we see where it lands , and try for Blake or Hayward in FA before resigning himself to any trade scenario that isn ' t for a top 10 player . Things were thrown a bit off during the early part of this season as our injuries exposed and amplified all the worst aspects of this team not having a legit big 3 . But the play Avery Bradley some would say the emergence of him as a legit two way guard has kept us from truly panicking . So to explain a bit , I honestly believe Danny ' s plan was to spend this season seeing if anyone on this roster emerges . Specifically Marcus , Jae , or Avery . One , because the emergence of an 18 to 20 ppg two way player already under contract completely negates us from having to solve the Superstar issue with a trade . Which in turn allows us to keep and develop our Net ' s picks while giving us a very good chance of luring a Superstar here in FA who wants to insert themselves into a winning environment . In other words he wants to pull off the rare feat of fielding a win now team , while developing a win later , core using what will likely be 2 to 3 more years of at least top 10 draft picks . Two , because unlike some of the more reactionary members on these forums , he truly believes at least one of our current roster is poised to break out cough Avery and it isn ' t a pipe dream at all for Horford , Thomas , and said player cough Avery cough to be regarded as an actual Big 3 , by the end of the season . In other words , he doesn ' t want to overpay to wind up not moving the line at all and potentially shortening or negating our window . Especially while the Warriors and Cavs are nearly untouchable and will continue to be for the next two to three years . Case in point , try to imagine how mad you would be if we traded the picks , Avery and Jae to land Cousins now , only to watch both of them turn into two way players on the Kings while we struggled with a bench of rookies and a dysfunctional team knowing we only did it to add the name and not make the team significantly better . Now imagine it from this perspective . We keep Jae and Aveey , they turn into 18 ppg offensive players while still playing their high level of defense , and we go into FA next year with a 55 win record , a deep playoff push , a top 5 draft pick in what is widely regarded as one of the deepest drafts ever , and enough to add a max contract . Try to remember that maxing out that way will give us the resources to go over the cap and keep Avery and Thomas here if we want to , while still fielding a bench of top 5 draft picks on rookie deals . You honestly don ' t think FA ' s will take us seriously then ? For example , imagine if we sign Hayward or Griffin . We can field a starting 5 of HaywardGriffin , Horford , Thomas , Bradley , and Crowder . A bench of Smart , Rozier , Brown , JacksonGiles Zizic , Yasuble , etc . I ' m sorry but that team is amazing and can certainly compete under Brad Steven ' s coaching . I ' m not saying he won ' t make a trade if something crazy comes up . I ' m not at all . I just think he is far less likely to part with what other teams would demand from us , unless they only wanted picks . Danny would be looking more for a situation like if Davis wanted out from under the Pelicans or something . In that scenario , players wouldn ' t do them any good since they ' d likely end up the worst team in the league without him . But the 17 and 18 nets picks , the 19 Clippers pick would be pretty enticing since they could potentially have 6 top 5 draft picks in only 3 years . Obviously that ain ' t happening , I ' m just using it to present an example of what I think Danny would be looking for in a trade , if he was looking at all . Which I personally don ' t think he is . I think he wants to build through the draft while trying to field a contender by signing Superstars through FA and getting bargain priced role players to break through their ceilings . So far , I think he ' s doing a great job . P . S . short answer to the actual question . Of the FA next year , Hayward or Griffin put us over the top if Bradley truly has broken through . Even if he ends up not , they may be enough when you take into account Brown and the 17 Nets pick . Of a massive Trade scenario where we lose key members of the core , Anthony Davis , Paul George , or Russ . Cousins if we don ' t give up Bradley . That ' s it really as Griffin , Hayward and the other 17 FA ' s make zero sense to trade essential assets for since FA would allow us to try to get them without losing anything .
