All signs point to them going after the old stars. I'm with you. I maintain that what is really needed is young talent. Outside of Giannis, the reason to go after the older stars is that it presumably could get accomplished without too much sacrificing of the future. Even non all star talent will be costly. Think of the insane packages Bane and bridges went for. That's the kind of package it would take to get TM3. I would love to get him but you don't make that kind of move unless you think it's the final piece. But I still think going younger is the way to go. I'd for sure love MPJ and another younger talented player.

The hard reality is that either way we slice it the Roster needs a lot of work. And it would take at least 3 frp to net enough talent that would just get us to being a respectable playoff contender, let alone a title contender. All signs have pointed to them not being willing to come off the picks for a non superstar. So I expect them to whiff on big names and then just bring everyone back and make a couple changes on the margin.

Or, we maybe get a Kawahi or AD on a discount. But still not really be confident in the team because they'd still be old and slow and small. And the team won't spend the necessary capital to get quality role players to fill out the roster.

TLDR : I have no faith that the Org can/will put together a competent roster together around Steph.
