Dejounte Recruiting Zach LaVine

[offset formation]

It seems to be a pretty popular opinion here that we already have a core of Primo/Vassell/Keldon/DJ/Jak in place and it’s just a matter of developing these guys further which is absolutely ridiculous.

As you mentioned getting Lavine makes it easier to move young assets as they develop.

I literally am arguing the opposite. I think PATFO believes we have a core. Which makes signing Lavine all the more risky because if you don't, and you extend those other guys, then you're locked in to mediocrity.

No, you're not. If you extend solid young players on solid contracts, they can double as solid trade assets.

We essentially just saw that with White.

people also have to consider that the West is wide open and fairly weak right now in relation to what it used to be. The Spurs fixing the hole at PF is the #1 priority though. They won't do anything significant until they address that, with or without LaVine
