- Trade. Put someone else in DJJ role playing him THJ minutes (THJ is in any case the most realistic salary going out in any trade). DJJ keeps his minutes coming from the bench. That someone else needs to be great defender (to keep positive DJJ defensive impact), who is also good offensively (to improve worse offense we have now with DJJ on the floor). Roles of other players are well set. Lively might not be a contender level center yet, but will get there.
All signs are pointing to this but the one aspect of this that I see slightly differently is that a trade using Hardaway to get a DJJ upgrade probably eliminates DJJ's role altogether honestly. Right now DJJ/Hardaway are combining for about 50 minutes a game. I would think if we brought in someone like your guy Jerami Grant that he would eat up close to 35 of those and the majority of the remaining 15 would probably be going to Hardy, even if he took all 15 of those minutes on he's still be under 30 minutes a game.
Very onboard with the general concept though.
