Which team can create a package big enough for Milwaukee (young player with star potential, picks,...) and become an instant contender? I see the following:
- OKC, if they don't at least make the finals. They have a number of ways to do it. One of Chet or Williams and whatever else is needed. I don't think anyone can offer anywhere near better package. That team would be super scary, potential dinasty
- San Antonio for Vassel, Black and picks. Wemby, Gainnis and Fox would be instant contender assuming Wemby can stay healthy
- Houston could make a good offer, but I don't see the fit (not enough shooting already), same for Orlando
Big market teams don't really have assets for a player of such caliber. Miami could be the closest, but Hero is good but not great. Unless they win #1 pick, of course.
OKC has the best package for sure. San Antonio is a close 2nd.
But a wild card I think could be Orlando. They have ALL of their current picks. Plus a FRP from Denver and a slew of 2nds. They could send either Banchero or Wagner as the core. Plus 5 FRP.
