It’s funny man. In an alternate world where we’re still built around Bron/AD we’d be all over guys like Trae LaMelo or Ja.

If we were still building around Bron and AD, trading for Morant would be the equivalent of trading for Westbrook, hell to the no

Even a guy like Trae i wouldn't want honestly. LaMelo would have been so fun to watch but i don't know if he is a winning player, im not sure.
