I think they’d have been talking more about the first half of the year and giving him more of a pass due to injury on the second half.
If Carr becomes available then I definitely agree he should be a target for them. I’d give up one of the two 2nd rounders for him. Don’t think I’d give up 13 though.

Leonard endorsed JB the other day when asked about the rumors. But the staff is kinda non commital.
I think JB will be a hard sell for fans. They need to show either a commitment to the present or a young gun in the wings. Considering how much cap they have too, I think they need to show fans they are committed to improving and not in the perpetual rebuilding mode.
