Clearly we’re going to sit on this Hayward TPE until/unless a superstar becomes available via trade. What are some hopes/possibilities? Does “Trader Danny” have one final mega trade up his sleeves that gets us over the top? If so, mea culpa from this corner!
With the exception of Tatum, I’m thinking anybody could potentially be traded in combination with the TPE to get us a final piece of the puzzle. I’m suspecting it might be Harden since he wants a ring as badly as us, so perhaps he forces a trade to a contender:
TPE + Langford + Nesmith + Two first-round picks for Harden
Rockets get to spin it by saying they go four first-rounders and we get an all-NBA first teamer...
Walker/Teague/Pritchard/Edwards
Harden/Smart/Green
Brown/Ojeleye
Tatum/Williams
TT/Theis/Williams/Fall
To cover up their defensive liabilities, rarely have Harden and Walker on the court at the same time so always pair one with Smart.
Does this get us to our next championship? Other possibilities?
