Now I´m in no way suggesting that this team is good enough to keep fighting for a title with Doncic/Brunson/Bullock/DFS as a core, but if you re-shuffle the deck correctly, you can get there so quickly.
Holmes + Bagley + Kings 2023 first round pick unprotected for Porzingis.
THJ + Kleber to the Celtics for Horford + Schroeder
Bamba + two 2nd round picks for the TPE
Doncic/Schroeder
Brunson/Green
Bullock/DFS
Bagley/Powell
Holmes/Bamba/Horford
That´s a situation where you can do virtually everything.
1.) Just keep the majority of the team together, because it is working
2.) package the big expiring Horford deal + your now available (additional) 1st round future picks + young talent (Bamba, Bagley, Green, the 2022 pick) for Lillard
3.) use the picks to create the necessary max capslot to outright sign or initiate a S&T process for Beal
We need to set ourselves up now. Porzingis/THJ are addition by subtraction, especially THJ who should be dealt at almost all costs.
Lot of hyperbole in this post. Not sure how THJ is addition by subtraction? He is not on the court and a good locker room guy. If Cuban is willing to pay the tax there is no reason to give up assets now to dump him.
The idea that KP is addition by subtraction is silly. He is a very good player that just can't stay on the court enough. And if he is such a negative, why is Sacto give up Holmes and an unprotected first?
This FO has made it pretty clear they have no interest in Schroder.
The fact that you have DFS coming off the bench and starting Bagley makes no sense. You are going to start Holmes and Bagley together?
