Lyles as a veteran that knows how to fit in on any team and produce results is slightly ahead of PJ Washington for me with the big PF/SF type wings but Watanabe and Diop are also worth adding for little money.
OMP Is going to be special and I just hope we can find takers for a lot more guys than McGee and THJ.
Bullock is expiring and may get us something in trade as should a S&T for Wood and or Powell.
Holmes is questionable given how long he has sat idle.
Low cost centers like Azabuike and especially Yurtseven who can also play PF to shoot 3's look like nice 3rd string centers with upside that could be worth trying if they are no longer restricted as rumors have said.
Still need to find a taker to get rid of McGee.
Assuming Holmes regains his game, we can always build up his value to trade him at the TDL or decide to keep him. Personally I pencil him in as a PF behind OMP who should get a lot of minutes at the 3 making it necessary to play him more at the 4.
The latest rumor that NOP is shopping Jonas Valanciunas is interesting and if we could get out of McGee's deal some how even if it meant stretch waving him to clear space I would want to see what it would take to win JVAL in a trade. THJ is a piece that costs more so maybe we use that elsewhere and that may impact their cap too negatively for them to want to take that on. Maybe Bullock and JaValle works for JVal. Anything would work if we were not sending any of our top 6 guys: Luka, Irving, Hardy, Green, O Max, and Lively.
I wonder who they are targeting to play center for NOP. If he gets shopped then obviously a PG as well as another center is on their shopping list and so a 3rd team may be required to make that happen. They could want one of our developmental PG's and maybe they feel their younger center is about to break out. Maybe they think with Zion they can use others as small ball centers since Zion may give them extra bang for the buck to use as a defensive force on 5's.
DSJ. is interesting for defense but we have some interesting rookies developing that can shoot 3's and score well if Miles can convince us he can defend and Jelly can show he can still score with his game translating at the next level then that is lots of fun to watch happen and with other teams wanting PG's and- needing help there is nothing wrong about finding talent and developing it with a buy low sell high approach.
Luka
Irving
Hardy
Green
O Max
Lively
____________TOP 6
Kleber
Holmes
THJ
Bullock
McGee ________Trade bait provided the replacement is rotation worthy.
That is our core but if we can snag a PJ Washington or Trey Lyles then ditching a couple of guys from the trade bait list needs to happen so maybe THJ and or Bullock get moved and if we could trade for J Val then him plus any one of PJ or Lyles gets us the depth and improvement to make us a contender in my book. That is your playoff rotation.
