Adam Silver, grow some fucking chest hair and figure this out, please.

Um, Clancy writes in, would you trade Palo for a top three pick in the 2026 draft?

Let's say it's Peterson, DeBansa, and Cambuza in some order.

I would not.

Combo of how expensive Palo is.

Not 100% positive he's a winning four playoff rounds player yet from a defensive standpoint.

That defensive mistake he made.

Did you see that three he gave up when they lost?

And he just got lost on the biggest play of the game.

I don't 100% trust him as a two-way guy.

You could trade him and have one of these guys on a rookie contract.

I personally would trade him for any of the top four.

Because... Does this feel like something Sacramento would do?

Sacramento gets the second pick and they're like, we can't add the second pick again.

Last time we had the second pick, we took Marvin Bagley over Luka Dacic.

We have to trade this thing.

So we'll get rid of Zach Levine's last year of his contract.

and the second pick, and we'll get Paolo, and we'll have an established super bar, and we're going to be lighting the fucking beam next year.

I would trade him for DeBansa in five seconds.

The other three, I would have to really study the tape and feel good about it.
