Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

Even getting one of AJ, Peterson, Boozer and ANOTHER top 10 pick would be a huge reset along with a Flagg, Lively, Max, and Risascher. 

That doesnt doesnt count what we could get if sell off older pieces such as Kyrie, Klay, P.J., Gafford, Naji, etc.  If we can trade AD for Risascher and that Pelicans pick. I say we start the hard rebuild.  Maybe keep Kyrie and P.J. for veteran leadership, etc. But the rest need to go.

I don’t see a scenario where we’d get the Pels pick and keep our pick, and I’m skeptical they’d even agree to a swap depending on where the Pelicans are at by the deadline. We should also keep the 2027 draft in mind as well for an AD trade because we don’t have that pick, be nice to have a pick in every draft at least, even if we have some crappy swaps coming with the Spurs and Thunder in the future.
