Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of teams who look like good THJ fits. I think we have to hope Orlando believes in him or the Pistons are willing to accept him for some 2nd-round picks. Maybe something like THJ to Orlando, Joe Ingles to Detroit and cap space to Dallas would work. We'd throw a couple 2nd-rounders to the Pistons in that situation.
The Timmy options are short. I think Orlando or Detroit are the only likely trade partners. If DJJ ends up costing the full MLE and Timmy is the way to get there I think our options (in order of my preference) are:
Send Timmy + first for Grimes
Send Timmy + 2nd(s) for air
Stretch waive Timmy
