re: Pels want to move to top of draft, BI to be “aggressively” shopped per Stein

This year was a historic year for the WCF. Any other year we would be a top 4-5 easily. So there is some data that says we’re built to win now. But here’s the problem with that, the West is going to be even better next year. You can’t sit on your hands. BI is wayyy more tradable than CJ but you still have two problems to fix. And you’re not going to get 100% guarantee production at both.
I just don’t think, unless they throw in Dyson, Nance, maybe even Hawkins + multiple firsts that they’re going to get an answer for Center and Point Guard. If you’re talking JUST BI and some picks you’re going to be looking at a sure fire starter and upgrade at Center and the draft pick with only the slight chance of that pick at PG being the one that hits

You also have to understand they’re escaping the money BI will make if they go through the trade for draft pick route. That should hopefully free up some cash to sign guys to fill those holes.

The West IS that good, and that is a reason why we aren't remotely close.
You can't be watching these playoff games and thinking we're built to compete with these teams... and it's only the 2nd round. We are so far away from these teams, not close at all.

We're not close to competing. And BI likely doesn't have enough value to get the true #2 realistically speaking, so there may not be a trade for BI that gets us in that conversation with those teams.
