I just want to know what Plan B is? because landing Giannis imo is a longshot. People keeps talking about how "loaded" 2021 class is. Yeah sure. Kawhi is not signing here. LeBron for sure is not signing here. Who's the next best free agent after those 3? Kyle Lowry? is re-signing him Plan B? he's 35. who's the next best FA after Kyle? Paul George? is he good enough to be the #1 guy on a championship team? no. Is he better than Siakam? meh.
So what is Plan B?
Also, do we even know if Masai is going to be here next year? how is he not signed yet?Mamba Mentality

Harden is most likely the next super star that is going to leave. Maybe Houston keeps him for the year and tries to trade him next off season. We miss out on Giannis, we use our cap space, picks and young talent to bring him in. Beal could be that guy as well (although he's not a top 7 talent, more like top 15).
We just want to be as flexible as possible going forward.

If we get Giannis Masai stays. If we dont then Masai doesn't resign. And we rebuild. Hit the lottery.

Plan B has to be keeping a roster that is flexible enough so that whenever a legit top 5-7 talent is available we have the assets (either cap space, or contracts for a trade) to bring that player in.

Plan B should be Giannis. IF they think they have a realistic shot at landing him then you open up space by trading Siakam.

Beal is better than Harden. He should be Plan A. Raptors should do EVERYTHING they can to get him without giving up Siakam and FVV. When you hear rumblings in Washington about Beal, you know it's just a matter of time.

But I take Giannis 10 times out of 10 over Beal. He's a legit 2x MVP. A complete monster that has lead teams to multiple 60 win teams. Beal can't even get his team to the playoffs.
And yeah the Siakam/Giannis fit is weird. But we can move Siakam easily if we needed to.

Part of the problem is the question. Fans (not speaking specifically here) kind of demanding to know which top 5 player we will land in the next year? It's an unanswerable question. No team knows that, not even the LA's."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

Giannis + Beal is actually the best fit of all. Maybe Masai joins them both in Washington?

Because they are not a luxury tax team, and signed a free agent with cap space, they had the full mid-level and used that on Harrell.
They resigned KCP using his bird rights.
They signed Wes Mathews using the bi-annual exception (what we used for Johnson last year).
They brought Gasol in for the vet minimum.
Now they can resign AD using his bird rights.

I mean, KG and AD never sniffed a conference finals until they joined good franchises, so it's hard to use that argument against any player.
