I mean which scenario do you think gives us a better shot at retaining LeBron?
We make the trade. Get Walker. Beat Boston. Play the Warriors. Get obliterated.
We don't make the trade. Still have the pick. Lose to Boston, who go on to get swept by the Warriors.
I feel like having the pick as a vehicle to acquire a star-level player hand-picked/recruited by LeBron is basically our only chance at keeping him.
So yeah I'd still rather have the pick going into the off-season than Kemba.
I mean...we can still trade the pick for Kemba. Like...Charlotte would totally do that shit if we called them.
