This FA class only has Hayward and Griffin that are worth going after. If Hayward stays in Utah, Ainge should just wait, keep the cap in a good place and wait until 2019 FA class.

We are talking Westbrook, Aldridge, Klay, PG13.

The Lakers aren't going to draft Ball and then try and sign RW. They may go after Klay and PG13.

I say trade #1 and AB to the Suns for #4 and Booker. Take Tatum at #4.

Next year if you don't want to resign IT, go after PG13, Klay or RW.

This is the last year for max-cap space for a LONG time. Regardless if Ainge signs someone or doesn't.

Also we heard the same about 2018.

Harden staying. Greek Freak staying, etc. More to follow.

so you want to give up both the better pick AND the better player? 

I also thought PG13 was going into the last year of his deal so he'd be a FA in 2018 or did I miss something?

Only if we choose to go that route.
