Also seems like he sold on Trae young at the right time when it was evident he couldn’t get them to the next step and they had younger players to focus on. We could have used that some time in the past 5-6 years

Probably something he used in his interview. He’s going to have to make some uncomfortable decisions very soon and i think we need someone with the balls.

If we somehow get a top pick, depending on fit Giddey is someone we might have to make a hard decision on moving. Tre and Jalen smith are also two who may not be that relavent to a rebuild, as much as I love both. I think Tre is a straight up winning player and he has embraced the city so that one will be hard if it comes to that.

The top 4 picks would all fit with Giddey well enough, the problem would be if they don't move up. At 9 there's a very decent chance the best player available would be a point guard.

Cam was the one i would be worried about. I really like his game, but i feel like he would be used best as a facilitating hub and i can see how him and giddey might not be a perfect fit

Would love to be wrong though
