Matthew Peck — To keep forward momentum of the team going what 3 area's do you want to see the team address and in what order do you place them in importance?2). Mann Marsden — Ok man I love Myles but do you feel it's time we get a rebounder and lob threat over the pic and pop type center he just doesn't have it he can shoot but that's it? Also, if we can get a bigger wing defender who do we give up for them?3). Bucket — Assuming pascal gets the max, how much room under the cap do we have to sign obi? Assuming we keep all other rotation players, and Jalen smith walks4). Peetie Peete — I see folks on twitter warming up to the idea of a sign and trade for PG. Given that will probably never happen, the one interesting FA I do see on the market is Malik Monk. Is there someone on the roster you would be willing to trade for Monk that could actually get it done?5). Josh Lovell — Is it a good idea to give Nembhard an extension starting in year 4? Pro- locks him in at a reasonable price, for multiple years; Con- probably puts us in the luxury tax from 25/26 (assuming a Pascal max contract), instead of just paying Drew his team option of 2 million in 25/266). Cole Eckert — What are your thoughts on the Jarace/Jax/Jalen Smith/ Obi Toppin conundrums. I think we'll keep 3 (Jarace, Obi, and IJax) and play 2 (Jarace and Obi). Learn more about your ad choices.
