Again though, these B squad guys are all great if we had 2-3 superstars. Without those, these guys are still being asked to do too much. It will rear its ugly head at some point, but it's groovy right now.

I agree. I said this during the game thread. Still need that second star. Don’t know who it is but we should save our 1st round picks for that guy when he comes available. Someone better than an Aaron Gordon or Jerami Grant type. Gets to the line and gets calls when the offense bogs down or Luka is sitting. Paul George would perfect. Would anyone here roll the dice on Jimmy Butler?

George is sort of injury prone now days.

Butler isn't a star IMO he can easily be taking out of a playoff series.

I will continue to believe that a big similar to Turner who can do a little bit of everything (rim roll/Shoot 3's/rebound and Bloc shots) would be perfect.

I think he would be cheaper to acquire than a wing player.

But if they could get another wing I'd prefer Lavine over both George and Butler at this stage of their career's.

Oh I meant PG as the kind of platonic ideal, I know he’s not available. But he can shoot at the rim from 3 and midrange, attack, pass, handle, and guard 4 positions. Sadly, LAC has TWO of those guys, whereas most teams would be beyond thankful to have one.

I don’t think I’d trade for Butler either but more because of locker, age/injury, and contract. And cost in assets. But I think he checks a couple boxes off if he wanted to come here and play nice and win a couple championships. I mean, Butler and another rim protector and we are as much a favorite as any team in the league, right? Outside maybe the Suns still.

We are short of another physical downhill guy who can get to the FT line and hit from mid range. Like Butler. Along with another rim protector/rebounder. Not saying we can’t contend now. Just that either way those are the needs.

I wouldn't be in on Butler mainly due to his age and non-existent 3 point shooting. I like the idea of Turner because he's obtainable whereas the others are not so much.
