Yeah that is what I was thinking, I would say by like trade deadline 2025 or that summer, if Wemby looks like he is the dude, they should be able to swing some kind of a deal to bring someone in next to him.

I saw Woj call Wemby something like the best draft prospect ever yesterday, and I had to roll my eyes on that one.  To me, I am pretty sure the best draft prospect is and will always be Kareem.    It's hard to compare 18/19 year old prospects in the 1 and done era to guys who were in college for 3 or 4 years, because the older guys will obviously be more developed.

Kareem as a rookie averaged 29/15 and finished 3rd in the MVP, behind Willis Reed and Jerry West.  There's a reasonable case he was the best player in the league as a rookie.  In all reality, when he was in college, he was probably one of the two or three best players in the world, and if you said he was the best I wouldn't call that ridiculous.  Wemby might be the GOAT, but he isn't already an NBA star.  It took Lebron a year or two to become a star.  Kareem came to the league fully formed as a top 2 or 3 player.  #rantover
