Trade & FA 2024-25:

[Chicagojk]

To me, there would be no weakness on this team if they added DSJ AND Marcus. With the earlier DSJ report and the more resent Marcus one. I think there’s a possibility one of them could join but not both. Of the two, which do you prefer?

Luka | Exum
Kyrie | Hardy
Klay | Grimes
PJW | Naji | Omax
Lively | Gafford | Maxi | Powell


I’m starting to get on board with sending out Powell for air. I have nothing against Powell but if I’m being honest I’d play just about anyone on the roster at 5 before him.. Him being sent for air DOES allow you to add two. Edit: Actually you can add three. So the Morris bros and DSJ or Powell is the question.

I am really not sure how I want to use the last spot (or two spots).  I expect if no more trades happen, Dallas is patient and deliberate.    I actually thought Marcus Morris had some moments in Cleveland as a buy out candidate.    He is better than his brother.   I just don't know if there is any benefit of having both of them on your roster.   We are a little thin at PF and an injury to PJ would hurt.    I am leaning to go away from Marcus though.  

I am not sure what to think of DSJ either.   Dallas is fine if everyone is healthy.   One injury though and it gets a little dicey.  Two injuries/rest days it gets really ugly trying to run our offense.   Dallas has Brandon Williams in summer league after picking him up as a two way.    If he is eligible for a two way again, it will be interesting to see if he is someone they can trust on an emergency basis during the regular season.  

I would lean to DSJ.  Sort of fits the same age as the DJJ gamble.   Young but not too young.  Not really young, but not old.   Has played on mostly bad teams.   I just feel like DSJ may have better opportunities for minutes elsewhere.
