Resign THJ 4/68 (15m first year)

Operate over the cap. Use the MLE/BAE to add a bigger wing and a versatile small ball big. For example (Theis + Tucker)


Just don´t see it for the Pelicans. Maybe if the Mavs add some assets (pick swap, 2nd round picks, Brunson instead of Burke). On paper KP would be a great fit on offense but if he cannot improve on defense Zion/KP is not going to work.

With returning Isaac, Fultz and remaining bunch of promising young role players, this team might become a very exciting and promising team quickly. Any team featuring Isaac and Fultz will desperately need shooters on all remaining positions. KP anyone? Similar to Houston and Detroit limited cap space.

Sacramento. Desperate? Longest tenure without play-offs. Trying very hard each year and failing miserably each year.

Minnesota. Desperate? Their team is at tax level and they were one of the worst in the league.

Washington. Desperate. Beal is not wanting out (yet), so team desperately tries to improve.

We have enough of them on the roster now to fill our quota and unless a player is exceptionally talented and advanced for their age, (so it could still happen as an exception) but I wouldn’t expect to target anybody under about 26-27 years old for the remainder of Luka’s career.

KP and JRich for Buddy Hield and Harrison Barnes.

Bertans would be your starting PF shooter and you would sign or trade for a new center (eg Turner, etc.). Avdija is a prospect, rotational guy you can develop or trade at a later time. If Bryant comes back healthy he could actually be your starting center or he might just be salary filler in another deal.

I think a starting lineup like this is pretty good. Out of this lineup Turner is your worst shooter but he won't take a lot of shots with 2 high volume guys (THJ, Bertans) on the floor. Even DFS takes around 5 3's now. Turner gives you the threat of 3 at least and can roll to the rim as well.

Whose to say he couldn't benefit from a healthy offseason and come back better next year? I think trading him when his value is at it's lowest might not be the best move.

I'd love to see if we could trade for Myles Turner without giving up KP. Let's say Richardson opts in and we trade him, Brunson, and salary filler like Burke or WCS for Turner? I love Brunson but you have to give something to get something. Then re-sign THJ and see if you can pick up Dragic and a decent wing with your exceptions? The cap experts in here don't seem to think we'll have much if any cap space left if we re-sign THJ so I'm trying to think of realistic scenarios.

Those moves could give you a main rotation of :

Turner/Powell
Porzingis/Kleber
Finney-Smith/Green
Hardaway Jr/FA Wing
Doncic/Dragic

Turner would give us some rim protection and a pick and roll/rim running partner for Luka who can also shoot the 3 a bit. Dragic is your secondary playmaker. FA wing of choice brings defense and shooting. Maybe a vet like Bazemore or Danny Green could fill that role?

That would be a good offseason for me and seems realistic. That said, if we somehow were able to get some cap space I'd love to go after Richaun Holmes, Norm Powell, or Talen Horton-Tucker. Whatever we do we need rim protection, defense and shooting from the wings, and a secondary playmaker.
