but is +17 the best you can do? I've been trying, short of doing something that the other teams would never do, I don't see it being possible to do much better. Everyone is actually giving up enough star caliber players in J Will, Ja, Edey, Brunson, KAT, Jalen Johnson, Dyson, Trae, Giannis, Middleton,

ya... Hawks don't do this. They do this for the picks.

Bucks. Are stealing J Dub and landing Brunson too. They actually take this for the future potential, if they're moving on from Giannis + Middleton this isn't actually that bad of a hit.

Knicks... well, it is a very "Knicks team." Meaning, every name is kind of a household name. But yes, I know... they're not letting go of Brunson for this. This is why we need to introduce the trade battle royale mode, where everyone gets to agree to a trade, with one player in limbo that sets it over the edge for whoever wins the 2-5 part Goblet of Fire type contest that could be televised. It'd be more popular than the Superbowl. Imagine if your fanbase knew that you were gambling a player like Shai or Luka or Porzingis or J Dub or KAT... because you got to use Shai or Tatum or Steph vs. the competition in the 3 part battle Royale. So you could walk away from the trade either a slight loser by 1/5, or a major winner by a whole piece. It'd change the course of history. Give teams more chance to come up. Just having one big piece enticing enough to make everyone else agree to enter the trade arena would be all it would take, then you could use them to score another piece that you could build a championship team around.
